Celebrate What's Right With the World

For many many years I've been inspired by the teaching of DeWitt Jones.  DeWitt is a former National Geographic photographer if his name doesn't seem familiar to you.  His work is inspiring to view, but even more inspiring are his words.

He has a talk titled "Celebrate What's Right With the World".  He's now released it on YouTube for the world to see in an effort to have people do just what the title suggests.  I've owned the DVD for 15 years.  I've watched it more times than I can count.  He has asked that this be shared as far and wide around the world as possible.  

Do yourself a favor, take 18 minutes out of your life, sit back, relax and absorb his message.  You too will want a Juice Camera at the end.  (You'll have to watch it to fully understand that comment).

Thanks Keith.  A pity we can't find those juice cameras any more (would love to get one for my son).

Thanks for posting this Keith! Dewitt was my favorite columnist in OP - back in the heyday of Outdoor Photographer.  I even submitted to the magazine a couple times in response to his writings.  Very glad to know he's still around and doing talks.

His message reflects how I've felt about my own photography all along.  

Thanks for sharing. I think I'll watch again.

..........but even more inspiring are his words.


Keith, thanks for sharing. This is yet another fine video from DeWitt's on line Youtube collection. Your comment about his words has always been one of his strongest assets. In fact, I found some of his visionary articles in OP to leave me with a bit of brain tease at times.
I use to really like his old Utah Travel ads on TV years back now.  They were very well done and a real draw to that area for many of us who saw that photogenic red clay & sandstone back then.
