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.

    This is my birthday. I was born at 8:21am on this day. Wow! This is absolutely amazing! It makes me feel small but humbled to see life happening on my first day here on earth. It’s just goes to show life happens daily and continues on far beyond.

    This is the day I was born, way down in Mississippi. I’ve been to New York twice, and I feel like I’ve seen this building. But maybe that’s my imagination.

    1/31/90 is my birthday. Kind of looks like they’re toasting to my parents. Even the expressions of the people in the photo reflect that of my parents’ sense of humor. I am in no way related to any of these people as far as I know, but they all seem like people that would be in my family.

    This is the day my eldest son was born at St. Vincent’s hospital in the West Village. That summer had been brutally hot. I was a 20 year old single mother with no money, education, or prospects. It’s 23 years later and we both made it. I’m a nurse and he is a wonderful man.

    This was the day I was born. This picture and the entire collection are truly amazing. To be able and go back to something and see something real, before Facebook or mainstream media, just a simple moment in time through someone else’s eyes is humbling. You can get those goofy books about the year of your birth that shows ads and current events at the time or the price of milk. But this has meaning, it is simple, it is just real, and it’s a day in the year. I would print this and hang it on my wall just because, to look at it and think about how simple life can be and how it’s full of so many moments that we miss most of it.

    I was born that day in Weslaco Tx. I was the second son of my parents. I would end up also battling cancer 27 years later. I know some of the struggles Jaime went thru on chemo. Thank you Jaime.

    This was the day my grandpa passed away. I was almost 10 years old and I remember being upset because he wouldn’t get to be at my birthday party. He had a heart attack while riding a four-wheel ATV through the woods. He was 76 years old.

    I dont really know the whole story, if there is a story after all. and as for someone who really loves and has a passion for photography, i can only thank jamie for the work he’s created. for me to be able to look at a photogrpah of this date the feeling is like going through a time machine or looking back in time. though on this day, may not be the best day of jamies life or his friends. july 30th 1997 was the day i was born and even though obviously didn’t know him this photograph in its entirety is to me a literal definition of what i call “a work of art”

    I was born on this day, in Glendale California. Although I didn’t know it, I was born in the same hospital as a friend I would meet 18 years later and become room mates with, in Arizona. Doctors told my parents that I would have many complications and might not live to adulthood, and yet I was born healthy. So much of my life has turned on its head. Nothing is as it seemed, even minutes before. And that’s what I love about it.

    This was my 13th birthday. Friday the 13th with my 13th birthday. I got a Malibu Barbie which I played with underneath the pool table. I was so happy I didn’t die that day.

    Born this day to a couple of grungy kids in Monroe WA, as billions of people went about daily routine. Here I came kicking and screaming and hated and loved all at once. Sorry for ruining the weekend mom and dad. But thanks for having me even though you were young. I’ve enjoyed every day through laughter and tears and love and loss and adventure. -Morgan Scott

    This day was my parents 3rd anniversary so it’s great that this is the picture that popped up. I imagine my parents were probably at a park having a picnic on this day too in PA. Such an appropriate picture.
