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.

The day my daughter was born, Today she is an Austin Police Officer. I thought this story was so wonderful. Polaroid’s were NOT cheap.. I loved that camera and the satisfaction of an instant picture. It meant something… now a days with the smart phone and everyone taking selfie’s, just doesn’t seem as special. Thanks for sharing!

Omg, there are so many of us! That makes this even more amazing!

So…I was adopted when I was three. Our was a private adoption and I was just young enough that I didn’t remember and grew up not knowing. I’ve never seen a baby picture of myself, and no one in my family talked much about those years. For decades I’ve known very little about those years.

It was oddly cathartic and comforting to go through and see a picture on my birthday for every year from the time I was born to the time I graduated high school. Thank you so much!

I was born on this day in Manhasset, two months premature. My parents told me that there was this megablizzard that hit the island the day before, but this is the first photographic evidence I’ve ever seen of it. My dad’s parents grew up in Valley Stream.

I was born on this day and it’s so cool that Chinese characters are seen in this photo, cause right now, i am a Chinese teacher even if i’m not a Chinese myself. Cool coincidence!

This was the day I was born. Thank you Jamie for capturing your life and reminding us how short it can be. You lived your life with passion and shared each day with others. You are an inspiration to lots of people including myself, a fellow photographer.

This day is my birthday, and I love this photo because I’m an avid rollerblader. It’s perfect: the friendship of the three, the snow on the ground, the blades/skates, and everyone just enjoying life.

This looks like such a peaceful moment, it wasn’t so much in my family, I was giving my mum hell, as this was the day I was born.

I saw a video docu about this in facebook, and knowing that he took pictures everyday, the first thing I looked for is the picture the day I was born. There could be time differences since I’m from the Philippines but there’s something utterly nostalgic as I look at these photos. Marvelous work.

This is the day I was born.
The picture gives me the idea that he is asking the world to stop for a minute, to slow down … he fight at the world… he is begin to stop, not ready to give up… he will son realice that he is one person against all humanity, and we are not going to stop…
