One for the Road: Evidence of My Existence

by Kelly Amabile (RSS feed) on Dec 19th 2007 at 11:00AM

Jim Lo Scalzo has been a staff photographer for US News & World Report since 1994. His new memoir is a moving look at the life of a photojournalist who has traveled the world. Evidence of My Existence tells the story Lo Scalzo's 17 years on the job as an "obsessive wanderlust" -- He handled assignments in over 60 countries, capturing important news stories, while jeopardizing his relationships and his very own life, for the sake of his career.

Eventually, Lo Scalzo had to make a choice, as this recent book review explains: He had to make a decision about what was the most important to him: his profession or his family. It is a decision that many photojournalists have to make but rarely talk about in the direct way that Lo Scalzo does.

Be sure to watch the compelling trailer for the book, which begins with the question, "How to stop moving?" Whether we're taking photos or not, it's a question that all travelers are faced with. This book explores how one man answered the question for himself.
