EP-6 Capturing the Abandoned With Laura S.

In this episode we are honored to interview Laura S. who currently resides in north central North Carolina. 

Adversity has not been a stranger to this lady.. She has survived divorce, depression, cancer and the loss of an estranged family member to PTSD. But Laura has a healing passion for capturing the abandoned and for getting behind the pictures she takes to discover the people who once occupied these homes of her visits. 

She also has a great amount of appreciation and respect for our veterans and that fact comes out several times during our interview with her. 

We cover all of this and much more in this show.
