    Thank you very much for that talk. I've found some similarities with my own photographic way. First, of course, Sean Tucker was a helping hand to find peace and clarity in my depression too. Also, trying to bring emotions into a picture becomes more and more important for me. Even if I take a picture of a bridge, a house or some trees or flowers. Again, thank you.

    Welcome back Kim! On the topic of watching your podcast on UA-cam. I listen to a lot of podcasts on my phone, but the reason I listen to your podcast on UA-cam is that I like to leave a comment. I play your podcast in the background and I tend not to watch the video element. But YT is a great way for me to interact. Keep up the good work and looking forward to Season 2!

    Great to see you "well actually hear you" again. I've always listened to podcasts while I was doing chores inside or out doing farm life so podcasts have been part of my life for many years. I can't say that I won't miss the videos. I usually watch/listen to them while I'm working (in my job as a CPA/self-employed). I'm very much a "visual" person and have always enjoyed video more than audio only podcasts. I seem to be able to "connect" more through the visual with the added impact of the voices. So I have very much enjoyed the UA-cam experiences. Probably why I love photography is the visual aspect and how we can make an impact or tell a story with just a photograph. It often lends itself to a variety of interpretations. I will, of course, be listening to the podcasts as you definitely need to do what moves you to be creative in the ways that spark your desire to produce content. I'll be here... watching or listening. Peace, Donna

    What a heartfelt and beautiful story Kim. I retired from a career in photography 10 years ago and it was at that point I began to fully understand what a life saver photography was for me. I used to teach the technical side of photography but now my emphasis is on the healing power of photography. I just turned 80 years old and I’m working on a lesson plan designed to help people understand how mindful photography can bring peace and meaning to their lives. I will follow your podcast and use it as a template for my journey. Thank you for being there for all of us. James
