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 is the day I was born, in a cottage on a farm in rural Dorset, England. A place that feels a million miles away from the streets of New York

    How neat to see someone doing something completely different.

    My birth date as well. My mother always told me that it was extremely hot that day. She said my father’s motorcycle kickstand was sinking in the melting pavement.

    This photo reminds me of my birthday the year I graduated from High School (6/20/1994). Almost a reflection of how far I had come.

    The day I was born. Just like Ariana, I feel like it describes my existence pretty well. I often feel surrounded by the dark, and I want it to shelter me from the outside world. Hopefully this will change for me in the future.

    Hey. This is my birthday. It looks shadowy. My parents tell me that as soon as they parked at the hospital it started snowing. I’m just glad I wasn’t born the next day. January 11th 1981 looks ominous. -I’m Kristen Benser. Look me up on Facebook. I’d love to hear a story.

    This is my birthday. I saw a Facebook video about Jaime, his life, and his pictures. Had to come see my birthday picture. I love how whimsy it is! Very interesting project, and what great friends to keep it going!

    This is the day I was born in the middle of Slovakia in Europe.
    Indeed, this pic speaks directly to my heart right know and I imagine a story behind it: a late lonely evening, just a human being and vanishing cigarette smoke. His mind is not in the room; it’s in the past not prepared to face the future yet.
    Jamie, thank you for your great work and a reminder that the ordinary life is extraordinary.
    Rest in peace+

    This picture was taken the day I was born, i find it almost nostalgic because it feels like he’s frozen such an important time for me without that intention! What a true artist! I am in love with this man’s project & vision!
