Creatively, it was a phenomenal experience. My friend Simon Jacobs inspired me to start making videos again (I&#8217;ve been on fire with these new GoPro videos on <a href=\"https:\/\/youtube.com\/erickimphotography\">my YouTube channel<\/a>), I picked up a GOPRO fusion 360\/virtual reality camera (super cool and fun), and have resparked my passion and interest in street photography; specifically, seeing how I can continue to help push the genre forward.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"88119\"
