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.

    My birthday. I was born with myelomeningocele spina bifida in Newport Beach, CA. At the time of my birth, I had the worst kind of myelo, but the best case that California had seen. I can walk and talk and do everything on my own. My mom didn’t know I had spina bifida until the night I was born, she thought I was twins in the womb! They found out I had SB through an ultrasound and they took me out three weeks early. I am so lucky and blessed to be here ❤️❤️

    Don’t know what I expected on my birthday photo. I think it’s really cool that all of us here who left a comment have a shared consciousness. It would be mighty cool to hear about where you were on certain important days in history and to see what if anything we share in common. Have a good life!

    Well I can tell you this was an eventful Saturday night! It looks like it was going to be a fun one for Jamie! I was born on this night at 10:04pm. The doctor had thought my mom had some time so he took off for a bit. Well I’ve always been on my own schedule and came shortly after he left. No one could find him so my dad and the nurse delivered me on their own. There is so much of this project that moves me.So much beauty in our everyday lives. I feel inspired and get goosebumps when ever I visit the site, and run out with my camera and shoot everything that strikes me. Thank Hugh for putting all this up and thank you Jamie for letting us all share in your life.

    I was born on this day. I have just seen a short video about this website on Facebook. I’m a little bit speechless. A beautiful snapshot of life, a photograph doesn’t lie it doesn’t bend the truth. This is that split second from the point of view of the photographer,
    Thank you

    On this day, I was born on a small little island called Yap in Micronesia. An island with no cities, almost true to its ancient times; houses are thatched huts, woman topless, men in thuws (loin cloth). It’s beautiful to know how many “worlds” exisit in our one.

    This is my birthday. I was born while the rest of my extended family gathered for a backyard crab feast and fireworks. By all accounts I’m told it was a lovely day; I like that this photo captures how fun that Friday on Earth must have been.

    I was born that day in Oradea (BH), Romania.
    Just as Andrei Olaru commented, that was the day the last communist leader was removed.

    This is the day I was born. The day existance and life itself made a cosmical call across the universe and I had no choice but to answear. The loud ringing tone of this phone still resounds today. A scary but inspiring reminder of the rough yet beutiful ride that lies ahead. Thank you for your inspiring work Jamie. Im glad I answeared that phone…

    I just learned of the story behind this site. I learned of the site itself, the man behind these photos. I also heard how people like to find their birthday and see the picture that was taken. It’s weird seeing this. This picture was made, and i was brought into this world in the same day. This is as old as I am.
