Day 47 of 365 "Giving Back"

Meet Jim, originally from NYC who recently moved to Laguna Beach from Los Angeles, CA.

The one word that best describes Jim's life today is "Lucky."

If Jim could change one thing in the world he would "Get rid of religion and help bring peace to the world."  One of the ways he would go about making this change is to be open minded.

One year from today, Jim would like to "become more spiritual and pay closer attention to other peoples needs while giving back what has been given to him."

If Jim's life were a movie it would be about helping others and paying forward the things that he has learned in life.  The movie would also be about persevering and always finding a way to make things work.

On numerous occasions I've seen Jim and his family hanging out on the beach at Oak St. and today, I finally introduced myself to him

We have similar interests and share a love for the ocean and being behind the camera.  Jim is a deep thinker and contemplative. We had a good conversation about significance and influence among other things.

For all the accomplishments Jim has had as a Director of Photography, he would hope people know him best for the ways he helped others and paid forward the experiences and the lessons he learned throughout his life.

Like Jim, I feel "Lucky" to be living in Laguna Beach where so many amazing and interesting people live.
