About TEDx, x = independently organized event
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
Jeremy is one of the most inspiring people I've met.
As a photographer, I can tell you the photographs are some of the most important tools we have in this life. We use them to spread awareness, show the world what other planets look like, remember once in a lifetime events, keep businesses alive, get jobs, and improve the self-esteem of a person.
I've got so much respect for Jeremy Cowart. Such a talented & inspiring guy.
hard to even view without breaking down. A camera is a tool that helps us really see.

This is the first time I've seen this video of this, but not the first time I've heard about The H.E..L.P. Project. I found it from a comment somone had a left on a random photography website that I'd "Liked" on Facebook. The page I'd liked on Fb wasn't one I visited often, but did so that day & read an article that included a letter from a client to a photographer describibng what she did with her money instead of paying $500 for family portraits, only later to find out she had cancer.
@Budguy68 is this assuming that all celebs and big shots are bleeding hearts? They're not. Jeremy's thing wasn't about profiting or marketing himself. It was about just trying to motivate people to do what they could, when they could, for other folks who just couldn't.
BTW, have you ever been to Africa?
