Ep. 4 - Photography & Relapse

In this video I talk about my photography plans in the van. My photography approach is changing and I'm committed to shooting how I need to shoot to keep photography personally fulfilling while being able to deliver iconic images. My photography is also evolving... and I'll talk about that. I also talk a bit about my journey with alcohol abuse and relapse. I talk freely about my battle with alcohol abuse and I have burned my ships (told friends/family to eliminate shame and hold myself accountable). My journey has been non-linear, but I continue to be stronger and learn about myself through this journey. The community I have surrounded myself with through Recovery Elevator has saved my life.

I have been getting steps in... but I do need to put on my running shoes. Problem is, I can't yet listen to music much, and I have to have music to run. I'm hoping you're right, Dave. I'm hoping you're right...

Really great to see this video. Talk about a 'REAL'. Thanks for doing this Jim and perhaps we shall see each other again. We shall! I'll be RV road trip again in May!
