Remixed, Re-editedEpisode 3. Justin NewmanIn February of 2008, an Illinois woman discovered a large fire blazing away in her husband’s personal garage. She called 911 and prompted  the response of local Illinois police officers and firefighters. Their initial findings lead them to believe that a freak accident involving a 3-ton hydraulic jack and a large, diesel fueled truck caused the death of  her  husband. But upon further investigation, they quickly discovered that the fire was no freak accident, and that the badly burnt body they recovered from the scene was not the man they were led to believe it was.Sources: CaseText.com,NBCNews, NBC Chicago, Chicago Tribune, the Los Angeles Times, the Daily Herald, Northwest Herald, Southern Illinoisian, Kenosha News, the Pantagraph, Chicagoist.com, Carmitimes, Lake County Journal, FindaGrave.com, Capital Gazette, Ocala.com

In this episode, photographer M. Scott Brauer joined us to discuss his latest project about the New Hampshire primary called 'This is the worst party I've ever been to,' blogging about photojournalism at dvafoto, living and photographing in China, as well two brilliant books. dvafoto launched around the same time I started the first incarnation of LPV, which was around the time social media started to take off. There was a small group of bloggers that I followed and dvafoto was one of them. They were very active back then and would write about issues and controversies in the photojournalism community. I also featured Scott's portrait project We Chinese on LPV so his work has been on my radar for many years. Yet again, another instance where I was finally able to meet someone I'd known online for several years. For the photobook segment, we discussed Will Steacy's brilliant Deadline, and My America by Christopher Morris. Thanks, once again to Brett A. Davis for joining us for the conversation and making some memorable photographs.  M. Scott Brauer was born 1982, Landstuhl, Germany, to American parents.

When you think about your mental illness, how would you describe it? Challenging, a struggle, treatable? Would you ever call it a blessing? Dick Peterson does. He lives with bipolar disorder, major depression and generalized anxiety disorder. The former journalist is now a peer recovery support specialist for a homeless center in the Chicago area. He’s also a Wellness Recovery Action Plan (WRAP) facilitator and in seminary.  He wrote about his struggles and triumphs with mental health in the Northwest Herald article, “Mental Illness-My Life’s Blessing, Not Curse.” He spoke with Mental Health and Wellness Radio Host Jenee Darden about why he sees his challenges as blessings.
