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 Also born on this day…
    22 now….
    Now I can see How simple things/Pictures make connection so differently…we start seeing specialty In them…..
    To be honest I do not have words to express what I am feeling because Its something deep and I do not have deep vocabulary/writing skills………
    If I could Get a chance in future I would Definitely Like to see all pictures in real.
    If.

    This day was of the first birthday that I remember. I sat on an old haunted hose ride at an amusement park, and snuggling my face into my dad’s arm after a dummy of a king Cyclops scared me.

    This was the day my mother and I almost died in childbirth. Because I was born in the 20th century, we received the necessary medical treatment needed to survive. At 7:28pm, on July 22, 1081. I was born, via c-section, and luckily, my mother and I both lived.
    My life from that first day, has weaved a complex and magnificent tapestry that is anything but boring.
    It’s amazing how someone’s ripple can touch you. It’s beautiful to see a photo from that day.

    This is the day I was born in Hot Springs, Arkansas, USA. I had a bed like this one in pink when I was a girl.

    This photo is a bit scary but this was the day I was born. Still, it amazes me that someone had a reminder of that day. Thank you, Jamie. Thank you, Hugh.

    I specifically looked for this photo as I was born on the 28th of October 1990 and I wanted to see what the mood of this place was like the day I was born ❤️

    A baby – perfect! This is the day I was born. My mom was staying with my dad’s parents in northern VA while he started his new job in Florida and found them a house. Ten days later my mom’s mom died. After the funeral, she left for a new house she had never seen in a new state with her brand new baby. She says “I just did what I had to do, ” which I guess is true.

    On this day, I was born in Northern Italy to two wonderful parents. My parents and I haven’t been back to Italy in about 20 years. Someday we’ll go back, and when we do, we’ll take a Polaroid.

      I too was born on this day, in California. It would have been a week sooner, but I resisted even induced labor, and had to be cut out via cesarean section.

    Mine too. Shivani, I am always curious to things that happened on this day. On people born this day. People who died this day. Jamie was years ahead of his time. People do things like this-sort of-all the time, but mostly it’s over them selves. This is 18 years in the life of a man.

    The day I was born, and this pic has so much happiness in it. I know I share my day with so many others, and I am so proud of that. This pic just makes me feel like those smiling faces are happy for so many reasons; all the babies being born everywhere, being with people they cared about, the weather, and lid itself…this is a beautiful pic!

    Pictures like this reminds me of the song “you learn” by alanis morisette. I don’t know why but I guess it’s the quality of the photo that takes me back to the time it was released. One of the reasons why life is amazing is to be with friends and this is one perfect example.

    Absolutely gorgeous. And the fact that he was able to get this clear of an image with a Polaroid and a flopping fish, just makes it even more of an achievement.
