359: Tim Geoffrion - A Quest to Photograph Every National Park
Welcome to another episode of "F-Stop Collaborate and Listen," with your host, Matt Payne. Today, we bring you the incredible journey of Tim Geoffrion, a man who traded in his financial career and embraced transformation through photography and the exploration of America's national parks. Known on Instagram as "This Walking Life," Tim's voyage to visit and photograph every U.S. National Park is a testament to living authentically and embracing the unpredictability of life. In this episode, we'll uncover the personal trials and moments of serendipity that shaped Tim's path: from the collapse and rebuilding of his personal life, including his marriage and the loss of his grandmother, to the struggles and enlightenment found in nature. We'll delve into how Tim's quest for connectedness with the natural world and his own emotions led to not only stunning photographs but also lasting personal transformations. Hear Tim's candid stories of car camping adventures, unexpected friendships, and his philosophical musings on life, movement, and the intrinsic value of each photograph. Now a coach aiding others in their own life stories, Tim brings his intimate knowledge of life's peaks and valleys to our conversation. Get ready for an episode filled with raw, meaningful narratives that enlighten us on the power of asking the right questions rather than seeking straightforward answers.Links: Support the show on Patreon Teju Cole Mr. Rodgers Documentary John Barclay Emily Sallstrom My Sunset App Mitch Boeck Tim's Print Shop Most Valuable Podcast Episodes
