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.

    I was born at 08:28 am at this day. I have a good career, make decent money, have a girl that loves me wholeheartedly and still manage to be unhappy a lot of times. I think that I think to much to enjoy myself. But if it gets to me and I have 15 hours of spare time I just play another round of Chrono Trigger on my old SNES and it gets better. It always does.

    And I hate clowns too… srsly, who doesn’t?

    I was born that day. That should count for something. Right?

    Anyone know what happened with the Mets that day?

    This was taken the day I was born. I feel like this picture was predicting my entire life; “Hectic, blurry and out of foucus.”

    Love this site and all it’s photos.

    This would be the day my fiance, the mother of my daughter, would be born. She’s sleeping next to me now. I was five years old at the time of this photo. My family and I were stationed in panama. And I had no idea that my future wife was being born in Minnesota.I love them both so much. This is a good day.

    the story about how I didn’t bother checking the date and accidental commented that some other day is my birthday, which it isn’t.. it’s the 8th of July. so.. this day, is the day my story begins.

    I couldn’t find my birthday, apparently I’m too old 🙂 But 31 may 1997 I married my beautiful and lovely wife.
    It was an exhausting day, both physically as emotionally. The memories are fading, but pictures of that day keep it alive. We had a hell of a photographer, taking B&W pics all day, He made a selection of 50 pics to keep in an album, and a box of a hundred to store.

    In the 20 years since then, we built a nice family of three children.
    In that view the picture above is kinda related.

    I was born on a rainy and cold day in London the day this picture was taken. It was morning in London, I like to think that this picture was taken in the evening in NYC, just as I was drawing my first breath. My mother died of cancer. It was a brain tumor that undermined her deep foundations. Like Jamie she faced her disease head on, I wish I’d been able to show her this website.

    This is my birthday. My father told my mother if she had me on Valentine’s day he would get her a dozen roses. I was born 1 hour and 13 min away from Valentine’s day. This photo is perfect to me. The roses my mother never got on the day of my birth.

    I was born on this day. Some years ago, my mother told me that the evening before she thought her ‘water broke’, but my dad said go to sleep. They still laugh about it. I was born at 9:40 AM, on May 10th 1982.

    This day was my birthday. On this day, I was thrust upon the world. A teacher reading a story to her students… a shared experience that helped to develop my own love for writing. How… poetic.

    This was the day I arrived on the planet earth. I landed on the Northern Hemisphere it was cold. People were wearing a lot of layers. I was new to it so i was just the ‘Nude Dude’. And it took me 27 years to arrive at my ‘photo of the day’!!

    In S. Korea for Team Spirit 89 – horrible day – a CH-53D from HMH-363, also out of Tustin and carrying Marines from 1st Battalion, 5th Marines (Camp Pendleton), crashed near the port of Pohang. Of the 34 men aboard, 18 Marines and 1 corpsman were killed. I watched it happen – life was never the same after this day…

    This was the day I was born. While I was nothing more than a screaming, not even day old child, here someone was taking a picture of a pink donkey on vacation and I love it.
