The Encyclopaedia of Moments

moment, n.
A period of time (not necessarily brief) marked by a particular quality of experience or by a memorable event.

The Encyclopaedia of Moments is a project opened to the public. Its goal is to accumulate a list of 'moments' submitted by people all over the world, to be eventually published in the form of a book. A 'moment', as referred to here, is the sort of simple yet beautiful experience which can be found in the commonplace. Arguably the enjoyment of a moment is universal. This project aims to catalogue the range of fulfilling moments that are scattered about human life.

Examples:
- the smell after it has just been raining.
- turning over to the cold side of the pillow.
- seeing two airplane contrails cross paths.

Please take a moment to submit a moment:
join the facebook group or email frederick (at) fmjbotham.co.uk

You can also:

- follow the project on Twitter to receive an assortment of regular moments.

- submit an image to the Flickr group to feature in the next volume.

- find out more and buy a copy of Volume One of the Encyclopaedia of Moments.

- see the current list of submitted moments.
