Shíhou (Moment)

Shíhou is Mandarin for A Moment [in time]. And that is what I'm trying to illustrate through my book project. Something as small and common as a bus transfer can signify so much. I want to focus on items that have a story, either great or small, but most importantly, more than you would expect. Therefore I'd be avoiding photographs [some are self explanatory or predictable].

The book will be very organic and personal, a collection of my own as well as friends' experiences. We all have some form of a shoebox kicking around that's full of "moments" that mean something, be it a "first date" or a "first concert."

I hope to build much more into this and develop an underlying narrative throughout the book.
