Description
Some say it’s better to see something for yourself than to hear about it over and over. Jamieson Diver is convinced of this truth.
The young man takes up photography thanks to his mother, who taught him to distinguish ordinary shots from true works of art, studying iconic black-and-white photographs together.
Two years after his mother’s death, the eleventh-grader Jamieson, his father, and his younger sister try to cope with the loss—but each does it in their own way, alone. Jay worries that memories of his mother are fading, especially when he nearly forgets her birthday. Picking up the “Nikon” his mother gave him, he begins photographing ordinary people on the street, at the same time and in the same place. At first it’s a school project, but soon he does it for himself. While shooting random passersby, Jamieson gradually changes his perception of the world and returns to a full life.
This book is a deep exploration of finding oneself, overcoming grief through art, and understanding the importance that family, friends, and even strangers can have in the process of healing. It gives readers confidence and the joy of sharing their worldview.
