Jon Plasse's "Passing Moments"

i love books. i like the tactile quality of a book, feeling its weight, turning its pages, holding it by its spine.

so when jon plasse asked me to design his first book of photographs–and mine too–i jumped at the chance.

i began this project by listening to jon describe each photograph...the location, the thoughts running through his mind, the memories associated with each image.

passing moments is a collection of photographs, taken by jon, of the places he and his mother, sherley, who died this past year, explored together during early morning walks.

and so, a decision was made to present jon's work without distraction. to allow the reader to have his or her own thoughts running through their mind as they view each image. and jon's very personal essay, presented on the cover, is ghosted, revealed only when light reflects off each word.
