Louie Schwartzberg: Nature. Beauty. Gratitude.

Thanks to Vic and Kris C. for this post!

Video from Ted

From TED, cinematographer Louie Schwartzberg reveals striking glimpses of nature and insights into the gratitude we have for that beauty. Through the responses of both a young girl and an elderly man to our world’s wonder, this talk invokes the importance of opening our hearts to the many blessings that surround us.

Nature’s beauty can be easily missed — but not through Louie Schwartzberg’s lens. His stunning time-lapse photography, accompanied by powerful words from Benedictine monk Brother David Steindl-Rast, serves as a meditation on being grateful for every day.
