Two years after losing his mother, Jamison is afraid he's starting to forget her. His dad and younger sister seem to be coping , each in their own way. But when Jamison nearly misses his mother's birthday, he worries that the memories he has left are slowly fading.
Determined to hold on to her, Jamison dusts off the Nikon camera she gave him and begins a simple project: every night at 9:09, he photographs whoever happens to pass by at the same time and place.
What starts as a way to make sense of time soon becomes something much bigger. Through his camera lens, Jamison begins to see the world in a deeper way. He begins to notice the stories hidden in ordinary moments and discovers unexpected friendships and surprising connections with the people around him.
As his project grows, Jamison starts to understand that remembering someone isn't about holding on to the past. It's about finding ways to carry them with you as you move forward. |
