My friend, Spencer, linked me to this recent article in the NY Times.

“We May Be Born With an Urge to Help.”

Nicholas Wade explores some recent findings from Biologists that human beings could be less selfish and self-interested as previously thought.

Heading back across the USA to end the trip in epic style.

 I am heading back across the USA and making a video as I do.  The video will say, “I Love You” to the world. I would like to meet up with as many people as I possibly can.  Details below.   

Put SUBSCRIBE in this form to stay informed about when the video is done and see the best photograph from the week.

The Working Title of the Video: “I Love People, I Love You.” 

What is the point of the video?

I want to say, I Love You, to everyone in the world (or at least everyone that watches the video).  I will publish the video to my Youtube channel and my goal is to have at least 1 million people watch it.

What do I mean by saying, I Love You, to everyone in the world?

I have just been feeling love for every person in the world recently and want to make this video to express it.   

How will the video look?

It is complicated, but should stunning, if it looks anything like what is playing in my head.  It will also evolve as I shoot it, but it is similar to this (The Longest Way).

I want to take photographs with as many people as I can as I hitchhike from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean.  

When will I start?

I am leaving tomorrow to start (March 10).  I will start from the Pacific Ocean and will be reaching the Atlantic before May 22, when I need to be back in Michigan for my cousin’s wedding.  It will take me about 2 months to shoot all the photographs for the video.
