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 my mother’s 25th birthday, she was a hospital in a small Vermont town, giving birth to me. 🙂

It’s my birthday also! I just came across this video in Facebook and was really moved by the idea and the way he took the time and opportunity to find something beautiful in every day.
That day was the starting point for us (mine in Finland), but for him, it was just a another day to make one moment to last a lifetime.

I find it perfect that this day’s picture is a cat.
I was born on this day, and cats have always been, and still are, a huge part of my life.
My fiance and I now run a rescue, and own 8 of our own.
Thank you Hugh, for keeping this website going. Jamie truly has left a mark on people, all over the world. His art is timeless.

Such a beautiful picture. It’s amazing to get that focus on a Polaroid picture. This is my birthday and it’s interesting to see what others were doing and life at another corner of the world. Thank you for sharing Jamie’s work.. Amazing!

How cool to know that while I was being born in some dinky little Colorado mountain town, this photo was being taken, and I would be seeing it so many years later, and being taken aback by the beauty of all of these photographs. I love things like this. Thank you, Jaime.

This was the day I was born. Suprisingly enough, it explains my life. Sitting back, not really going anywhere, listening to the music around me.
