Stories about those days.

The stories that people have about Jamie’s photos are a source of amazement. Β 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 married on this day. I remember it was very hot and the reception hall had no A/C.

    I remember the winter olympic games in Lillehammer, Norway. I was the host for the Chinese skaters in Hamar. It was horribly cold.

    This was the day when my twins were born in Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada. No less than 12 students were present to experience a natural birth of twins. A special day indeed. πŸ™‚

    I came into the world on this day. Ever since I was young I’ve had a talent for art and 20 years later l am now a drawer, painter, and most of all a photographer. Recently I’ve had doubts about myself and my work and I constantly wonder whether or not I’ll be able to make it as an artist. Today, this website has filled me with hope and has given me a “renaissance” so to speak. Thank you and thank the photographer long past for giving me hope again.

      I was born on the same day as well. Something about this artistic way of expression has just left me in awe.

    This is the day I stopped drinking and using in Los Angeles and I have stayed that was since. I got really emotional when I saw the picture because it reminded me how I was so close to Christmas and how far away from my family and friends in Canada I was, and this lady in the picture is doing cards just like I did that year. But I was detoxing and a bit of a mess and didn’t send the cards until July. I actually found them all stamped and ready to mail and just dropped them in the mail. I had no idea what people would think. And let me tell you-people think. Lol This pic made me remember that. What a hard time it was then and here almost 25 years later I see the impact of that day. I got to live well. And I think of this man taking Polaroids and making a statement and collection of his experience. I am inspired to make my collection. It makes me emotional and grateful to be here. Thank you. The biggest realisation about this date for me later was that it turned out to be my mothers birthday who I had been taken away from in 1985. I have always thought that there was some divine intervention to save my life. Always remember to believe what you see and learn the lesson the first time. You have less scars that way. So happy to be here.

    This is the day I was born. In Texas. Who would’ve thought I would find a random picture of a stranger taken on that same day (pretending to be the Statue of Liberty?) more than 33 yrs later and that it would make me cry. What a beautiful thing you have done in memory of your friend/husband. What a lovely reminder of the the beauty and frailty of humanity and to know that we are all so much more connected than we tend to believe – especially in these crazy times. Inspiring

    This is the day I was born. If I remember the video depecting the artists’ life correctly, I believe this was his best friend Hugh Crawford, who was playing the guitar at the side of his bed the day before he died. I am happy to know that Jamie had a great friend that always stood by him and that they were both having a good time, playing music and enjoying life the day I was born.
