They say that your own experience is more important than other people’s stories—and Jamieson Diver completely agrees.
The young man is into the art of photography thanks to his mother, who taught him to distinguish ordinary shots from masterpieces, studying significant black-and-white works with him.
Two years after his mother’s death, Jamieson, his father, and his younger sister try to cope with the loss—each in their own way, alone. Jay worries that the memory of his mother is gradually fading, especially when he nearly forgets her birthday. Taking the “Nikon” camera his mother gave him, he begins photographing random passersby on the street at the same time and in the same place. Initially it’s a school assignment, but soon it becomes a personal hobby. By filming people, Jamieson gradually changes his view of the world and returns to a full life.
This book is a deep exploration of finding oneself, overcoming loss through creativity, and understanding the role that family, friends, and even strangers can play in the healing process. It inspires readers and brings joy from the opportunity to share their view of the world.
