- And this episode, hey, it's home, with the legendary Russell Frederick.
Your collection work is incredible, man.
I love it.
- Bro.
The camera, bro, just opened up my eyes.
I was able to see life.
This other assignment I have is to raise awareness about glaucoma.
I've lost some of my sight, but not my vision.
