Guy walks across America

Creativity, Ideas, Inspiration, Photographer, Video, Walking

Mike walks across America, coast to coast, over the course of two weeks, occasionally stopping to snap some shots with a Canon 5D, in this really well-done Levi’s-branded time-lapse viral.

The trip began June 17 in New York and ended July 1 in San Francisco. For the actual photography, the crew used a Canon 5D.

Behind the Scenes
Here is how they created Guy Walks Across America.

Singing For Supper

Inspiration, Music, Video, Walking

Three young men walk across Britain without any money, camp out and rely on the kindness of strangers to survive.

Calling themselves “singing adventurers”, they have taken three major trips in the past three years, sleeping wherever they can and foraging for food. They sing three-part folk songs, ancient and modern, wherever they are welcomed.

They “busk in heaving towns, chant in crumbling chapels, and get feet tapping in many a-pub across the land.”

Free Hugs

Hugs, Ideas, Inspiration, Stories, Video

Sometimes, a hug is all that we need. Free Hugs is the real life controversial story of Juan Mann, a man whose sole mission was to reach out and hug a stranger put a smile on their face.

In this age of social-disconnection most all of us lack that simple human touch from another, the effects of the Free Hugs Campaign are now felt around the globe.

As this simple gesture of kindness and hope spread across the city, police and officials ordered the Free Hugs Campaign BANNED. What we then witnessed was the true spirit of humanity as people came together in what can only be described as something awe inspiring.

In the spirit of the Free Hugs Campaign please pass this video to a friend and HUG a stranger! After all, you CAN make a difference.

The response to this video has been nothing short of overwhelming and touching. Hugs to every single one of you who messaged. There has been thousands of emails from all over the world from people seeking to participate in the Free Hugs Campaign and asking for permission. You don’t need permission. This is the people’s movement, this is *your* movement. With nothing but your bare hands you CAN make a difference.
