I’ve watched this vid a half dozen times since it came out a while back. I never tire of it. If you missed it when it first dropped –OR, hell, even if you’ve seen it before–please saddle up here for 5 min and enjoy the unique power of photography.
When I talk about “Social Art” (like here for example) this is, in part, what I’m getting at. A magnificent and stunning example here from JR. Top tier. Scale. Impact. All of it.
Bravo.
[JR’s TED talk is here if you didn’t catch that a while back]










thanks a lot chase….though i never heard about JR. much, but seem he has a great talent portraying the real people (the common man)
totally inspired by his idea, will try to work over it sooner after my examinations.
Thank you so much Chase – truly inspiring – picking my camera up again now
This is astounding, Chase. Thank you for sharing it. I think that if we, as photographers, pass this link on to others (as I will now) we help perpetuate his project in some small way. Very, very humbling.
man… i just wanna sit back and stare at my camera… indeed a powerful tool…
wow! i just got chills. i love his words, “I’m not trying to change the world, but when I see a smile… I cannot help but think I’ve achieved my goals.”
