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 love looking at these photos and imagining people just living their lives; what were they doing or thinking when this photo was snapped?

That day, on the other side of the globe I was born. I love photography and I too have a Polaroidy camera. Those pictures are so amazing and unique! And what an amazing way to connect us humans. To get us to check the picture of the day you where born years later. Truly beautiful art! Moving, inspiring and so personal and honest !

1 year old today 😉
people spend their whole lives trying to make something of themselves or creating a legacy. Jamie did this, perhaps on accident. by god, his story and mine are alike. god bless you Jamie. I cried when I read this story, and not only due to sadness

This is my birthday as well. I had never heard of Jamie or his work before today, but it is a story that touched me something real. I am truly sorry that we’ll never see what more could have come from someone taken so young. 41 might not feel young, but it very much is in the grand scheme. Rest in peace, brother.

On this date, my eldest niece was born. Incredible to see the juxtaposition of what that day meant for me compared to what the day meant for Jamie and his friends.

My thirtieth birthday. The world was so full of hope way back then. With new jobs, children, our first home. Life was so simple then. Today (12/05/20) I simply hope to be able to eventually leave my house and see friends and family, hug my children and grandchildren without cutting my life short. So much more complicated…

This would’ve been my 13th birthday. I don’t remember anything about it really but I often share my birthday with Thanksgiving and now every single year I share it with my granddaughter Lilly, my first grandchild, who happened to be born on my birthday.

I was born 6/23/1988. Orcas are my absolute favorite animal and I’ve been obsessed with them since I was 5 years old! It’s a crazy coincidence that this is the polaroid from the day I was born. This site is awesome. May Jamie rest in peace. Thank you for sharing his work with us all.
