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.

    I was born on this exact day, December 12th 1993. To see something like this on the day I was born is really amazing. It’s like I’ve lived in the world even before I was born. 😍

    This is the day I was born in 1994. It is odd to see glimpse of a strangers life on the day you were born, but it brings a sense of happiness. This project has a special legacy.

    This is my birthday May 10th, 1990 I mistakenly labelled another picture that was this date. I have no idea how to play golf although my fiancé and his grandmother desperately wants me to learn. Maybe this is a sign. This was a mothers day. not a very common birthday which I have noted, and this picture fills me with joy and love…and makes me miss this man named Jaime.
    All the love to those who were part of his lives…………His artwork has inspired me and I hope many to come.
    All the love in the universe,

    I was born that day.

    I’m not sure why but it brought me to tears… maybe seeing that video about jamie on facebook made me feel like im close to him even though i never met him..
    This picture makes me feel and realise how big this world is, How everything happening at the same time is incredible. And for that experience I thank you jamie.

    You may not have realised it at the time, but those polaroid pictures are an unbelievable masterpiece.
    love to you and your family.

    This was the day I was born and as I’ve grown older I’ve always been a person who has wondered as to what’s going on in someone’s life at any given moment while I’m experiencing mine in that moment. This photo helps me be able to understand that better by knowing that while I was being born there was someone relaxing drinking a beer probably after a long days work. It’s stuff like that make me happy to keep on wondering about the lives of others

    This is the day I was born, it is so strange to see a picture of the day you were born. I am not even sure why it is so important for me to see this, but for some strange reason I felt as if I had to. I think what he did was amazing all these very real images are absolutely stunning and I am thankful that they exist in this world.

    I was born on this day. And I’ve found this website exactly on my 21st birthday. The photo shows an album “Missing Pieces” by National Health. Checked it online, and it was.. something. Weird music, maybe. But it felt mysterious.

    I was born on this day! I was a coil cord baby and my mom was having difficulties giving birth to me. Strange that such a scary but special moment for my family and I was just a chill day with friends for someone else. These photos are so poetic.

    This was the day I was born on the other side of the county, Portland, OR. I am the 4th of 4 and born on a Sunday with the greatest date to repeat all my life 9/9/79. I wouldn’t have had it any other way.
