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 was the day when I had my first date with the most beautiful lady ever ❀It was this year 2016
    I still remember how hungry I was and I wanted to eat a lot like a animal that day but I had to keep my composed just to impress her. She really looked beautiful when she smiled and laughed 😍

    I was born on this day. I’ve looked at the other pictures leading up to this date and the ones after as well. It’s hard to tell if he was moving out of this apartment or if he was just moving in. I think it was the latter. Ryan Connop – Fort Sask, AB, Canada.

    It’s weird how by looking through your pictures I feel like I got to know you. And how this last picture hit me like a truck. I can only imagine how you were in real life but I suspect I would not be disappointed. Rest safe dear friend xx

    the day I was born. this photo really strikes me.

    thank you for hosting these. i can’t say what it means to me. by chance i came upon this collection, and it’s really been inspiring for me the last few weeks. inspiration deeply needed. instant film has been my photography medium of choice for a few years now, despite being a little bit more niche of a hobby these days than it was when these were being taken. i got my first film since the summer, and i’ve been taking my 600 everywhere i go since it arrived. i wish i could ask dear Jamie how he took some of these shots.
    thank you again for dealing with the sudden influx in visitors, myself being one of them, you’ve helped me refocus my muse. love, Ollie

    Reader’s Digest shared this website and when I watched the video I was amazed. Amazing art and meaningful story. This could be made into a film. I was also curious to check out what photo was taken when I was born and found this polaroid with a man on a baseball stadium. This photo is very nice. I’m also a fan of baseball. This collection of thousands of polaroid taken during his life is so inspirational. I’m out of words. πŸ‘

    Technically I was born on 11th Feb. But since Fiji is ahead of the US by a day. This would technically be the correct the correct Birthday photo for me.
    ☺ Seems he was having fun on that day. Sweet!

    Wow, a Macintosh Classic! Apple no longer manufactures those computers … πŸ˜‰ .A Motorola 68000 processor at 8 Mhz, 1 MB of RAM, and a cost of 999 $. As technology has advanced in 25 years …
    As a software developer I am, I think it would be curious to do computer programs on that relic (a novelty at the time).
