About this listen
Ron B. Wilson's impressive 30-year career as a professional traveling photographer has taken him all across the United States and the world, from Cuba and India to South Africa and Morocco. Always with his camera in hand, Ron has captured moments of unforgettable history, including the tragedy of 9/11 and the fallout of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster.
The common theme that binds all these stories together has been undefeatable resilience. Ron's journey will inspire listeners to live, learn, and better understand the everyday struggles of communities across our vast planet. Photographers eager to learn more about their craft will find practical lessons accompanying every story, and nonphotographers can appreciate the life lessons that come from the art of capturing the human condition.
For lovers of travel, photography, art or humanitarianism, this audiobook is a must-listen.

Story
First published in 1973, this is a study of the force of photographic images, which are continually inserted between experience and reality. When anything can be photographed, and photography has destroyed the boundaries and definitions of art, a viewer can approach a photograph freely, with no expectations of discovering what it means. This collection of six lucid and invigorating essays, with the most famous being "In Plato's Cave", make up a deep exploration of how the image has affected society.

Story
On May 24, 1869 a one-armed Civil War veteran, John Wesley Powell, and a ragtag band of nine mountain men embarked on the last great quest in the American West. The Grand Canyon, not explored before, was as mysterious as Atlantis - and as perilous. The 10 men set out from Green River Station, Wyoming Territory, down the Colorado in four wooden rowboats. Ninety-nine days later, six half-starved wretches came ashore near Callville, Arizona.

Travel, Photography and Amazing stories of Resilience!
This book has amazing stories of Resilience from all over the world. I loved everything about this book. I felt as if I were with Ron every step of the way through each of his experiences as a travel photographer and photojournalist. The haunting stories from New York City on 911 when Ron lived there and his experience to Chernobyl and the aftermath, Cuba, India and Africa. Each place you learn about the culture and some of their history and about the people and their stories of Resilience as well as Ron’s own story of Resilience. This book is inspiring and a great reminder of how blessed we are in this country. It’s a reminder that we can all take part in making the world a better place no matter how big or small our contribution. This book came out at such a perfect time. If you like photography or are passionate about it you will enjoy this book as well. Ron gives great photography tips even a person like me who isn’t a professional can find very useful. You will love Ron’s storytelling in this easy to read and hard to put down book. Don’t wait and just read it or listen to this fascinating book. It does not disappoint!
