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.

Thank you for letting me see another story from that day and giving me idea on how photo is so much more than a thing but a treasure. I’d continue taking photos like you did. Thank you for being an inspiration. 💕

    I was born this day. I didn´t know I was born on a Wednesday. Wednesday has been my favourite day of the week since forever. The woman wearing the brown coat looks like my mother when she was younger. Same curly beautiful hair.

    This is the day my life changed forever. I went from a sport playing fanatic to a man trying to be able to walk every day. I had a horrific skiing accident and destroyed my right knee. I’ve had 13 operations on it since this day. I’ve never been able to ski, run, skate or jump since this day. Years of physiotherapy and persistence have allowed me to walk some. I gained 200lbs from not being able to exercise. Ironic that this picture is that phone as that is the exact phone I used to call my mom to tell her I was going to the hospital for surgery the next day. Love this site.
