The 9:09 Project

Introduction

A thoughtful exploration about finding oneself, learning to hope after loss, and recognizing the role that family, friends, and even strangers can play in the healing process if you are open and willing to share your experience with others.

It has been two years since his moms death, and Jamison, his dad, and his younger sister seem to be coping, but theyve been dealing with their loss separately and in different ways. When Jamison almost forgets the date of his mothers birthday, he worries that his memory of her is slipping away. To help make sense of the passing of time, he picks up his camerathe Nikon his mother gave to him.

Jamison begins to take photos of ordinary people on the street, at the same time and place each night. As he focuses his lens on the random people who cross his path, Jamison begins to see the world in a deeper way. His endeavor turns into a school project, and then into something more. Along with his new outlook, Jamison forges new and unexpected friendships at school. But more importantly, hes able to revive the memory of his mother, and to connect with his father and younger sister once again.
