A Vain and Futile Attempt

Josh Kuglar, a camera operator for film and television, has worked on Emmy-winning travel shows, music videos, and future films. Over the course of his career, he has navigated minefields in Iraq, serious illness in Burma, and smoked cigars with communists in Cuba. He's also traveled the world extensively in his free time. Josh has devoted himself to seeing as much of the planet as possible—meeting new people, eating strange cuisine, and witnessing untold beauty. After a traumatic diagnosis in his family, his own mortality began gnawing at him, making him think about his legacy and what, if anything, he could leave behind. This book, his first book, was his answer.
