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.

    My Mae Pauline, I wish that someday you’ll read this. Thank You So Much for everything. I’m so happy and blessed that you’re here, a wonderful part of my life. I just want you to know that I Love You and I will always Love You. This photo is just like traveling back in time, the day that a beautiful angel was born, Happy Birthday My Love. In any time that you’re sad, just look at Jamie Lingston’s photos. It will tell you, and I just like telling you that there’s no reason to be sad, because everyday is blessing, there will always be happiness in every side. Everyday is an opportunity to make a new and unforgettable memories. Fulfill your life with good fortune. Live your everyday life like there’s no limits! And I will be very very happy. Be happy My Love, even when I’m gone.
    – Kenn Alfer

    This is the day I was born. I think it’s interesting to see a baby picture and a clown here. It just seems so appropriate for me.

    It’s heart wrenching to know Jamie’s story, but I feel so connected. This was the day that I was born. November 17, 1996. It’s almost heart warming to know that this man saw life as worthy of documentation. I know he isn’t alive, but I would like to thank him. Looking at the pictures, I anticipated my birth as if I was there. I began to be overwhelmed with joy. I appreciate what Jamie has done for us even after the day of his death. I could feel a connection through his photos as my day of birth approached. I hope the world continues to be blessed by his story.
