Stories about those days.

The stories that people have about Jamie’s photos are a source of amazement. Β Some are of the “that’s me and we were doing this” type of stories from Jamie’s friends. Some are the “I never met Jamie but this was taken on my birthday and it means a lot to me. And some are just stunningly moving one of a kind stories.

    I was born on this day πŸ™‚ in a small hospital in a dmall town called Rawene in rural New Zealand . My mother was in labour for so long it was rough. But lo and behold I came into the world. I wonder who this woman was??? I wonder what goes thru her head as she takes a drag on that cigarette. I wonder what shes looking at? Its like shes seeing beyond jamie πŸ™‚

    STORME from New Zealand

    Superbowl Sunday, 1984. I was born on this day. My mother tells me that she was in labor with me since the night before. It was very cold on that day, so I have been told. And it has hardly been cold on that day where I live since 1999. Don’t tell me global warming is a myth.
    What is funny about this picture is that I can tell what kind of TV that is. My family used to own one until it was replaced in 1993 with a magnavox that was somewhat bigger. I also have seen masks like those that people would nail to their walls. That seemed to be a weird popular thing for people in the eighties. They stopped hanging those masks up on walls across the country by at least ’97. Just looking at this picture makes me think of my childhood. Everything was so…disillusioned and gritty back then.

      *GROAN* Please remove this. Your website messed up the order of the pictures and it didn’t say this WASn’t January 29, 1984 until AFTER I submitted that story.

    This is the day that my son died. Such a brave ten year old, we often talked about his coming death as being a bridge to a place where he would be able to be free from the pain and he would get to play again!

    This is the date of my 18th birthday. I decided on this very day to give myself things I had not been given, shortly after that pivotal decision I enrolled in private flute lessons.

    My best friend was born today. She’s one of the most loving and caring person I’ve ever met. I feel like we’re soul mates from another world, such a deep rooted connection. It’s funny too because I was born tomorrow, the day after her. These pictures give me a chance to see how close two days can be while still being so different.

    This is the day I was born. I love the thought of the laughter this photo would have brought to both photographer and subject, something reminiscent of fun photos I would take with my friends, recreating poses or mimicking images πŸ™‚

    🌞This is a beautiful photo. Meanwhile in Houston Texas, my mom asked me to make a pot of tea. After a few minutes she said it was time to go. My dad, my siblings and I each ran frantically for something. The keys, the bags, the tea. Lol. Mom laughed at the sight of us all. Later that afternoon, my youngest brother was born. He’s the joy of my life.

    This was taken the day I was born.:) The photo reminds me of my mom, because she likes to sew. She used to design and make her own clothes when she was a teenager. πŸ™‚

    My 18th birthday and the day I lost my virginity to the young man I had loved from afar for so many years. It was truly one of the sweetest days of my life. We would spend the next two years immersed in first love and learning all of the wonderful, tender feelings only it can offer. I will always cherish this day …
