Most of my heros aren’t people who climbed the corporate ladder, although a few of them have.

Most of my heros did what they loved, and because they loved it, many of them became really good at it, and some of those who became really good at it kept working at it, and a small few of those that kept working it became the best in the world at it and those that became the best in the world at it got to make a living doing what they love.

So it seems there is a direct correlation between people doing things with all of their heart and getting to spend their lives doing it for a living and I think those are the people I really admire and look up to the most.

Not because of their success, but because how many times they must have failed and still kept going.

It’s possible. ✨

I am under no delusion that I did this alone. I have been absolutely blessed with incredible family, friends and mentors who were willing to teach and encourage me every step of this journey.

But it was not a journey that was easy and it certainly wasn’t one that was handed to me.

I think that’s why when I hear “you’re so lucky” I cringe a little, because the path to this point, the one you see here on the internet, was paved with incredible pain, hardship, sacrifice, hard work, faith and courage.

Growing up my dad used to say “if it was easy everyone would do it, it’s the hard that makes it great!” And I have spent a lifetime learning that lesson but it’s all been more than worth it.

I could have never imagined in my wildest dreams, kicking dope in rehab nearly 11 years ago, that one day, I’d travel the continent and make photographs that would adorn those very walls one day.

This has been an incredible journey. One that I wouldn’t trade for anything in the world because it’s uniquely mine, and now my entire mission is to give it back and show others that if I could do it, so can anyone. That no matter your circumstance, ITS POSSIBLE.

Thanks for letting me share.

~Justin ❤️

Thank you to all who made the ultimate sacrifice so that we can live in a country where you can start with nothing and still make something of yourself. I am eternally grateful.

Happy Memorial Day 🇺🇸

Not his first rodeo.

The mighty Yosemite falls and Half Dome in Yosemite National park.

Justin Krompier ( @just_passinthrough ) shares the serendipitous and vulnerable story of his final admission to rehab after battling with addiction for several years. After being denied a bed at his previous treatment center, his lifeline came from a chance encounter with a woman he had met on a train five years prior.

I don’t say yes to shooting many weddings, but every now and then I take one on and in the case of @unusualbehavior_ and @tayliux , I hit the jack pot because not only did I get to shoot some old friends from back home, but I got to do it in my favorite place on earth.

Thank you guys for trusting me with your special day.

That being said, if anyone else wants to drag me out somewhere pretty to shoot your wedding, I’m available.

Before we hosted @just_passinthrough on our latest episode of Recoverycast, we ordered one of his gorgeous prints titled “Going to the Sun” as a surprise and a thank you.

I owe everything I have to my recovery. It’s been the greatest gift I could have ever asked for. The life I get to live today exists because I got a second chance.
But not everyone gets that chance.

June 6 is National Naloxone Awareness Day. It’s a day to raise awareness around a medication that has saved countless lives and given people the opportunity to make it to recovery.

Addiction doesn’t discriminate. It doesn’t care about your background, your income, your race, or your family. It touches every kind of person and every kind of community.

I’m honored to work with the @victoriasvoicefoundation to help spread awareness, compassion, and education around addiction, recovery, and naloxone, today and every day

Once describing himself as a “shell of a human being,” Justin Krompier (@just_passinthrough ) was trapped in a relentless cycle of heroin addiction and the long-term effects of childhood-prescribed stimulants. In this powerful episode of Recoverycast, Justin joins us to share his profound transformation from a life of isolation into becoming a celebrated photographer, filmmaker, and endurance athlete.

He opens up about his harrowing descent into substance abuse and the pivotal “moment of clarity” that finally reawakened his lost love for nature. Justin’s journey proves that it is never too late for a second chance.

I know a few good coffee spots, this one in Yosemite National park might still be one of my favorites.
