Photo taken on the day I was born

The day I entered this world. This picture feels appropriate in the sense that it was in fact a blurry day for me as well. Thank you for your memories.

This is my birthday!! Glad she has the bottle of champagne ready to celebrate!

This is the day I was born. This photo is so ironic to me because my father is a dairy farmer, and this is how the office in his milking parlor would look during summer.. cigarettes and lots of dead flies.

This is the day I was born…in Wahiawa General Hospital in Wahiawa, Oahu, HI

This is my husband’s birthday. He is VERY allergic to cats! He also sometimes goes by ‘Jayme.’ It’s funny to see what Jamie was doing this day.

This is the day I was born.

I was born this day in Knoxville, TN.

My 10th birthday

My name is Jamie and I was born on this day 20 years ago in Davao City, Philippines. I find it weird but cool that someone who did something this awesome, and is also my namesake, died the year I was born. I was named after my dad, James, but I was also named after a popular singer in the Philippines at that time, Jamie Rivera. Her song “I’m Sorry” was a hit on the radio at the time, and it has pretty much reflected how my life has been. I wish I could stop apologizing for who I am and the things I have no control over. What this photo tells me, is that everyday we can still find a chance to make something beautiful.

Day I was born.

My Birthday! My parents called my uncle and he thought it was a joke! He called a week later “when you going to have the baby?!” LOL RIP Uncle Stephan 💙Thank you for sharing these polaroids with the world.

On my birthday! This is the coolest picture yet! Miss you James!!

Posting this here, since it’s from the day I was born.
Finding out about this site and the story behind the pics has inspired me to do the same, so I made my first post yesterday.

I was born early this day on a snowy beggining of the year god bless Jamie for doing this in his life.

Is it possible, that despite circumstances, and the gravity of his medical situation; somehow, someway the glimmer of HOPE shimmers in their eyes? Only LOVE can accomplish these feats. She looked so in love with you, Jamie. You two may not have had a lifetime of love….but I can see that you had the love of a LIFETIME!

This is the day I was born.

18 years later I would be born in Waycross, Georgia (:

And here is where my Story starts…

This was the start of my journey into this world – it would last almost 3 days. 3 days of being here, yet not quite there…like the spaceman on his rocketship adventure.

Me Too!

The day I was born

Wish I knew where this was, I would love to recreate it.

Wow…. I’m so touched.

This date was my 28th birthday… and i know i spent it alone.

This photo displays that.

Thank you Jamie.

My 20th birthday. I don’t remember anything about it, so, i guess this pic really describes it for me, 😊.

Thank you Jamie.

Interesting that the exact day amd year I am born he is taking a photograph of a birthday cake

This is my birthday. I love this picture. The pure innocence and humor, the clothes, everything nostalgic about the “80’s”… I love it, 💕

On this day I delivered my son, 5 weeks early. He is now a handsome grown 21 yr old who is still the best thing that has ever happened to me.

This was my 10th Birthday…

I was born on this day in Oakland, Ca. 26 years ago about to be 27. This is a wonderful collection of Photos. True artist right here. Thanks for sharing these pictures. They can truly lift a soul.

This was the day I was born

The day before my 18th birthday….😮

Feels like college, comforting somehow.

I was born on this day. I am a college student studying graphic design and art in Alabama. My now boyfriend is on the computer and I am laying on his bed listening to his family chatting below and trying to find something to occupy my time. I came across this website through an artist friend sharing it on facebook. So, I came to enjoy and wonder. It’s such a magical thing to read other peoples stories and see that Jamie’s photos can bring a sense of connection to strangers. I have no idea if Jamie ever had that in mind, bringing others together, but as an artist myself I find that one of the most beautiful things is creating a space of connection even if the intention was the contrary. All these Polaroids give me the feeling of the fragility of life. A beautiful, painful, and fleeting existence finding meaning in the day to day. They remind me of “polaroid moments” that I reflect on in my own life. The ones that come and go; the ones that inspire me to paint, sketch, and create. Here’s to all the new connections in 2017.

I was born in this day in 1982. My father was a huge fan of Star Trek.

This was the day I was born. I often joke that my birthday is Halfway Christmas Day…glad to see I’m not the only one who felt that June 24 has a little bit of Christmas Magic.

Born Deep Creek Lake, MD

Saw an article on Facebook about these pictures… I wanted to see what picture was taken on my birthday… December 15 1990…I think this permanent memory of a man I never new is a part of my history

This is insane. I came here to see what my birthday would bring up….and it’s this. I love it. <3

This photo was also taken the day I was born. It will be interesting to see who comments

This was the day that I arrived in the US for my Master’s degree. Here I am, still living in the US 22 years later. Thanks Jamie for the memory, from a fellow cancer patient.

I was born on this day

Jamie, you have some great friends. In sharing your project with the world they are insuring that you continue to live on. Thank you and rest well.

My 1st daughter was born this day. Her first expression upon leaving her mother’s womb was a sneeze. She was perfect. Still is.

On this day, I was a 1 year old. I wonder on my first birthday, what was happening in this picture? I saw video talking about this website on face book. It is absolutely beautiful!

I was born on this day!

I turned 20 on this day. It looks like he enjoyed that day too

My 10th birthday. A month from now we would move back to Texas, San Antonio…This move would start some of the best years of my life.
