In this powerful episode, photographer, designer, and game creator Carol Record sits down with host Jim Reiman to explore how photography has become both a refuge and a tool for healing. Carol opens up about using the camera to process the trauma of her youth and the intense experience of her COVID-19 hospitalization—ultimately helping her reconnect with her true self.
Carol also shares the story behind Lumen, a photography vocabulary game she designed specifically for photo educators, blending her passion for learning and creative play. The conversation closes with Carol’s latest explorations in spirituality through dance and intentional camera movement (ICM)—a practice that lets her embody and express the unseen layers of experience.
It’s a deeply personal and inspiring look at how art, education, and movement can intersect to transform the way we see the world—and ourselves.
