For renowned photographer, Sebastião Salgado, photography is a way of life and a language he uses to express things that hurt his heart or make him happy. Salgado's projects have taken six to eight years to complete, requiring extensive travel and extreme lifestyle changes. In this TED talk, Salgado shares a deeply personal story of the project ("Migrations: Humanity in Transition") that almost killed him and his renewal through the re-forestation of the land on which he grew up in Brazil. His latest project, "Genesis" is Salgado's love letter to the planet.

    How full one life can be. Instead of thinking that we have come here to do one thing, if we open ourselves to the Infinite we can discover whole new directions and callings to become part of the Co-Creation of the world. There is no coincidence.

    What inspired me is what one person can do if he or she has an idea and follows through on that idea. And that working together we can accomplish great things to restore our environment. Love the earth!

    Art (Visual and Performing) inspires us to create, preserve and restore. I have always found myself wondering on what is the role/importance/reason of existence of art. After listening to Sebastian, I have come to realise that it is one of the biggest sources of inspiration to mankind. Which brings me to the abundant source which he is channeling his energies in preserving and reviving - Nature and the ecosystem. He is an amazing man and I salute his purity and love as a Human. I loved this video and Thank KarmaTube for sharing it. Much Love, Komal
