Dalanie Franklin is a combat veteran that uses photography as a form of healing. After being medically discharged from the Army for injuries sustained during his service, Dalanie struggled to adjust to civilian life. Through photography, he found a way to focus on the present moment and experience peace, and now creates that opportunity for other veterans as well through his meetup group “Photography is Medicine.” In this episode, we talk about his military service, how photography became a mindfulness practice that helps him heal, and why having a community of people that understand you is so important.
