So Much Inspiration, It Hurts

I’ve been hording this group of inspirational work since the beginning of the year. I hope you enjoy this round of multimedia goodness that I find inspiring and worth sharing.

Sit back and enjoy some of what I’ve found that the intertubes has to offer in inspirational multimedia storytelling.

Johnnie Footman, 90, may be the oldest cab driver in New York City. With a cigar hanging from his mouth, a plastic spider around his neck, and a cap that reads “Old Dude made of Achey Breaky Parts,” Johnnie still manages to make it to the shop five days a week.

NPR: A Locksmith’s Tale And Other Health Care Stories

As the debate over health care overhaul goes on and on and on and on, we thought we’d slip off and visit some people who have strong opinions about insurance.

I don’t understand French, it looks and sounds great. I love the unique navigation.

Bedrooms of the Fallen by Ashley Gilbertson

These bedrooms once belonged to men and women who died fighting in the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. These fallen men and women were blown up by IEDs, RPGs, hand grenades and suicide bombers. They were shot down in ambushes and by snipers. They died in helicopters, in humvees, and in tanks. It all took place thousands of miles away from home, and the country they fought to defend

The video work of Sean Dunne

At the same time, Mendel, working in parallel to the children made portraits of every child in the school as well as also documenting the life of the area.
