Hello, Dark Shadows Fan,
ShadowGram (SG), The Official Newsletter & News Source for Dark Shadows (DS), announces the following key breaking news in this Official DS News Online Update "bulletin."
***** JAMES STORM INVITES YOU TO JOIN IN AN EXCITING PROJECT
Jim (Gerard Stiles) asks SG to premiere-announce something he’s very excited about: A special new project. He hopes you will share it with other DS fans, family, friends, colleagues, and everyone who’d be interested.
Here is Jim’s full message to all of you.
WANDERLUST
"The heart of America is in the open road."
What is it about the open road?
What is it about the constant motion, no matter where you are going or what direction?
What is it about the WANDERLUST?
Combined with the two great passions of mine, travel and of course photography, it is the "Unknown."
It's the thrill of being in the present moment, hearing the stories of people and capturing their lives and the events surrounding those lives through the distinctive personal eye of the camera lens.
So in October of this year I am jumping on a Greyhound Bus, leaving Los Angeles, and heading for Billings, Montana. I want to take an in-depth look at the people who travel by this means of transportation, whether for just pure pleasure or maybe out of necessity. I want to hear their stories and capture those stories and events of the unknown in photographs.
Once in Billings, I will be going behind the scenes at the world-class Nile Rodeo (Northern International Livestock Exposition) and photographing an in-depth look at the lives and spirits of these "Gypsies of the West."
I really would like to take you on this trip with me. To do that, I am asking for your support to help me raise the funds to document the lives and events of the folks I meet on this journey.
To learn more about this exciting project and to contribute to "WANDERLUST," please view my video at INDIEGOGO.
