Do You Know Yann Arthus-Bertrand?

Monday, 8. June 2009, 14:47:03

The fantastic airborne photographer by the name Yann Arhus-Bertrand has just released his new film called Home.

Wonderful, touching, moving and soul-shaking photography about our home, Earth. And how we are about to destroy the only home we have.

Are you fond of photography? Or are you fond of your home?

In either case, or both, click the picture depicting Yann to watch the movie, if you wish. Don't forget to watch in HD, if your Internet connection is up to it. And if I may bring forth a suggestion, do not do anything for the hour and a half that the film lasts but watch the film. Sit back, concentrate, enjoy and absorb. You will not be disappointed. You may be alarmed. You may even be shocked. But you will in either case bring this film with you through your future life. Trust me.

I've seen a large exhibition by him here, also.

Glad you like it, all. The movie really got under my skin.

I envy (in a good way) people with cuch a charisma,
one must "have it" to accomplish such work,
the beauty is around us all the time,
his gift
makes us "see" it!
