TEDx GrandviewAve
I have been watching TED talks since my freshman year of college. If you haven't seen any of the TED talks, I suggest you go to the website as soon as you are done looking at this post! I say it that way because once you listen to/watch one, you will spend the rest of the day listening to inspiring talk after inspiring talk. I will take this moment to share one of my favorites, Matt Cutts: Try something new for 30 days. I can relate to this specific talk right now because since seeing it, I have been inspired. I am currently on day 6 of "Trying something new for 30 days." I can't share what that "something new" is just yet, but you can expect an update at the end of the month.
TEDx, the "x" standing for "independently organized," is a program created by TED to bring local people together to share that same TED experience. This year I was a part of TEDx GrandviewAve in Pittsburgh and have photos to share from the event. I want to give a big thank you to the founder, Kacey Wherley, and everyone involved for asking me to photograph this incredible event in the city of Pittsburgh.
