The 9:09 Project

Seventeen-year-old Jamison marks the time of his mother’s death by photographing strangers at 9:09. Two years after her death, this practice leads his photography into unfamiliar situations. The story follows his grief and his search for hope, considering how family, friends, and strangers can take part in healing when experiences are shared. Centered on Jamison’s pictures and remembrance of his mother, the book explores loss, connection, and the process of finding oneself.
