Celebrate

In my opnion I thought this video was terrible. The only thing it taught me about life is theres a picture behind everything. There's beauty within everything. The video is about a man named Dewitt Jones and the story of his life. How he grew up reading National Geographic and now works for it and is a photographer. There were six images that I could apply to my life. One picture is of a grandpa smiling and Dewitt says, "life doesnt shine on us, but within us." This is something I could apply to my life. Light isnt given to us, we create our own. The second picture/pictures is of the woman in the end of the video. Dewitt speaks about how he asked to take pictures of her for National Geographic and how she explained to him that her brother was dieing upstairs. He didnt understand that the lady still said that she would do it. Dewitt took photos of the woman weaving and making yarn. He spoke about how he didnt understand why someone would give up their time to someone when somebody was dieing. At the end she made him biscuits and tea and was a very sweet old woman. What I could apply from this to my life is patience is important and Dewitt makes a good point that, do the things you do everyday with meaning. He says "Theres no use walking anywhere to preach, unless your walking while your preaching." The third picture I chose was the man throwing the weight. Dewitts words of wisdom and the picture taught me to do what you love and take pride in your talent. The fourth picture is the landscape of the farm, the moutains, the forest, and all of the land photos of Dewitts. They taught me that there is beauty behind everything. My fifth picture is the bright dandelion picture. Dewitt says, "Woah, it was there. I was lucky enough to see it." I think he trys to make a point that we look beyond whats around us and what we were given(a beautiful earth) and we take things for granted. Sometimes its important to take the time to look deeper into things, becasue beauty is within everything created on earth. My last picture is the picture of the desert. Dewitt says that, "No matter how bleak and desalate, no matter how dry and devoid of posibilities the situation might seem. But if I was open to it I could always find a perspective. A perspective that would transform the ordinary, into the exstrodinary." I learned that you can always find something good out of something that seems bad.
