A Ted Talk worth watching

So.... I had my post ready to go this morning and lost it! And then, I had to be out the door by 6:30 to get to a talk I was giving at 7am and didn't have a chance to see if I'd saved it somewhere...

So.... it means, no post. I don't have my laptop with me. I don't have time to recreate.

Which means... I'm going to share a video because... well, I just like sharing things that inspire me! I watched this talk by JR, a semi-anonymous French street artist, last week and was blown away by the images and the method he uses to gather and empower people to tell their stories. I am inspired by how what are often perceived to be barriers -- religion, race, history -- are non-existent in his photo-art. Fascinating!

Have a great day.

I saw this, too, last week. JR's begun to get quite a bit of attention.

Really cool, Louise. Haven't been reading or blogging at all for a few months. Glad I stopped in. Hope you are doing well.
