Have you ever fallen out of love with something that you once loved with all of your heart? Has your passion turned into depression? Have you lost that loving feeling and don't know if it will ever come back?
Well, it happened to me. I lost it. The thing that had taken me to all 4 corners of the world in pursuit of happiness and adventure was just....dead for me. And that scared me. How could I no longer feel it for something that used to burn so bright for me?
In this podcast I take you through the journey I've been on the past couple of years.

Join Jason and Emily for episode 4 of Unfiltered filmed on location in Oceanside, California where they discuss some the importance of unleashing your inner 5 year old child to take your creativity to the next level.
Many times we adults build up walls around us to try and fit into the constructs of who society tells us we're supposed to be. The main discussion in this podcast is how you can break those down and more importantly break them down for your subjects to create shots that are believable rather than the Resting Witch Face that we see in many photographers work these days.
Jason fields questions from the audience that have been submitted via his website and responds to fan comments on previous Unfiltered podcasts.
