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.

    This was the day I was born in Atlanta, Georgia to a young college student. Three months later I was adopted by a couple who raised me with unconditional love. I hope this guy sold all of his flags

    This pretty much sums up the day I was born. My parents couldn’t shovel the car out because of the blizzard. They had to call an ambulance and it was the only time my mother had been in an ambulance in her entire life until she passed away about 4 years ago. They still call me the “Blizzard Baby” to this day.

    This was the day I was born. My mother was induced because of her being high risk. We both only had a 25% chance of living because she has an Auto immune disease. I know that when I was born they had to stop me from breathing and my mom had seen them do so, she hemorrhaged heavily because she was panicking but she said when they brought me over to her that I was trying o hard to look at her through all the goop on my eyes, that she felt alright and knew I was going to be fine. She wasn’t supposed to have me. I was supposed to be aborted everyone but herself and my father were telling her to abort me, including the doctors. But here both of us are. 20years later

    Today was my birthday as well. What an amazing story. It definitely makes me think about how we catalog our days in today’s world. Often taking dozens of photos and sharing abundantly. It’s important to take a step back and realize why we take photos. Jamie gave his polaroids meaning and shot them with care. At that time there was no Instagram or Facebook. Now, it’s easy share photos in order to receive “likes” – a form of validation from others. Jamie’s story reminded me to cherish each day and find priceless moments. To share photos that are meaningful to me and my creative endevours. Thank You for keeping his story alive.

    My birthday <3 I was born in the Philippines. My mother had thought of getting an abortion because my father left her for another woman. But it is been 24 years and I could not have asked for a better mom. She is my bestfriend and she always tells me, I am her miracle. Mahal kita, mommy!
