Stories about those days.

The stories that people have about Jamie’s photos are a source of amazement.  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.

    This man left behind in my opinion one of the greatest pieces of art I haven’t made it through all of them just significant dates his last year here and boy just looking at a handful has some how grasped my heart and mind, I wish I could see what you would’ve took pictures of today. RIP jamie, I feel as if you found a way to connect your soul to the world for all to see, feel and befriend all while being beyond our existence.

    This is the day I was born. I find it interesting that it looks like a calendar in the picture because I tend to remember the most random dates of events in NY life.

    I like how either by fate or what but I like the group photo took at the beginning of your last year on this earth…. almost as if fate made sure of it.

    My gorgeous wife’s birthdate. How he ever managed to catch this shot on a Polaroid is just as wanderlust as how I ever managed to marry the most beautiful woman inside and out of all time.

    I just saw a video on my Facebook about what Jamie did…thank you Jamie. I’m currently at the airport waiting on a flight back home to Houston after a week long vacation with my family. I made a promise to myself that I would try my best to see parts of the world. When a suggestion came up to search your birthday and see what pic showed…and all I could do was smile. I’m not a big religious person but my parents once told me if you are ever going through anything or need answer you could randomly open the Bible and read and it would relate to your problem/ situation at hand…today you were my random page in a better bible of a random strangers life. Thank you cause now I know that taking trips and seeing the world is more than just a vacation…but a journey in life I can’t wait to take. Thank you Jamie…where ever you are and Rest In Peace friendly stranger.

    You asked me to tell you a story, so here it is. One day, a friend and I deciddd to go fishing, even though we hadn’t done it in a few years. On our first cast, my friend lost his hook, on the second one, I lost my Bobber. On the third one, my friend bobber hit the ground and shattered. The forth one found our lines tangled and the fifth one ended up being eaten by a fish. Instead of a sixth cast we went home and played a fishing game on the computer.
    May God bless you all Andrew Hersey

    You probably get this one a lot, but this was the day I was born. My mom used to tell me about this day and she would say that it was one of the calmest, greatest days of her life. I was born at 8:56 pm, entering the world to meet my mom and dad, one doctor and one nurse. My parents were in a rough patch of their relationship but this was something that brought them together, no fighting or arguing. It was a clear, cool night and luckily I was completely healthy and slept the whole night.
    Now I can’t see much of this picture but it looks like calm and is fitting for how I spent the first day of my life.
    I love what this website has done for Jamie, I imagine through his work that he was a great man.
