Louie Schwartzberg: Nature. Beauty. Gratitude.
ć
This video brought tears to my eyes. Iām so grateful I stumbled upon it and get to share it.
Louie Schwartzberg begins his talk with a brief background of his history with photography and his passion for it. Not only has this passion of his brought enlightenment to him
personally, but to many others. Mr. Schwartzberg began specializing in the art of time lapse photography, which happens to be a lengthy process and requires much patience. The
pay-off is one of a kind and breathtaking.
He talks about how the images of flower and nature that he is able to capture through photography speak to him and deliver nostalgia and a sense of gratitude for what simple
pleasures nature has to offer its beholder. His images can stimulate the brain with its natural colors and organic images. A young girl is interviewed and she expresses how sitting in
front of a t.v. watching cartoons is, "fake" but exploring opens up "whole new worlds."
I have to admit that the philosophies that were presented in this video mirror my personal ones. I greatly believe that exploring, admiring and being grateful for this Earth and
mother nature will lead you to a path where you will ultimately be a happier individual.
