I stumbled across this piece on Media Storm–a website where multimedia and video projects thrive in the world of photojournalism. Lately I have become more and more interested in watching personal stories told by people in my profession, I guess because I am embarking on one myself right now–so I am seeking out as much inspiration as possible.
This piece is the visual companion to Jim Lo Scalzo’s memoir in which he briefly recounts his life as a photojournalist, traveling constantly, but sacrificing the family and personal life he now knows he needs. The piece is amazing and strong, but what sticks out to me the most is the way he describes Antarctica. I can almost feel myself there.
He speaks about his life and his travels so much more eloquently than I ever could. Watch it, and soak it all in:
