Inspiration


I am just back from a very inspirational evening. I attended the second session of a new series of conferences called "Tribe, to be inspired", where you can listen to people who do things not "only for the money". Quite a change LOL! I did not know what photo to take and then I saw this game of shadows on the wall near the stage and thought it looked cool... It was interesting, but tiring, so I'm off to bed now!

  1. Were you one of the guest speakers? Because you inspire people literally all over the world every single day! I love the yellow theme of the past 2 days. It's jaune-til (or is jaune-tille?) ;-)

  2. I agree with Monnica; what you've created with the City Daily Photo community is very inspiring!

    BTW, very cool photo.

  6. After clicking the link, I drank the words of the speakers present in late August 2011. I guess last night was in the same vein. What a meeting. A big breath of fresh air. Literally so.

    > inspiration
    (noun)
    Action by which air enters the lungs.
    [figuratively] creative Breath.
    Idea suddenly comes to mind.
    Action to inspire, to instill a sense.

    And figuratively, that comes in my brain as something very strong.

    So thank you Eric. You're a connector to an abundance ... An opener.
    To give you an image, you're bird when I ant! And voila ... it will not change much to say but I say and I hope you get a smile back on the corner of the mouth - Thanks

  7. For a moment I thought it was France's next entry for the Eurovision Song Contest. ;-)

    Glad you were inspired. I seem to do lots of things not EVEN for the money!

  9. Your capture is a great one, Eric. Very unusual, between the shadow and the ray of sunshine. Really a good meeting !
    Inspiration... Sometimes creation and passion take ages before converting in money but when it works, it leads to the best and profitable things.

    @Drummond : "For a moment I thought it was France's next entry for the Eurovision Song Contest ;-)". LOOOOOOOL. I agree, I could almost hear the lyrics of the song : Let the sunshine
    Let the sunshine in :D

  10. Wait—are you saying there are people who do things even if there's no money to be had for it? What a concept! And I love this picture.

  11. Cool photo. Takes me into Plato's Allegory of the Cave, my dear Socrates avec camera. Seriously,it's inspiring to see people pursuing their bliss and sharing with others. A shout out to Alexa!;-) BTW...Alexa...to answer your question--"people who do things even if there's no money...?"--try most jazz musicians. ;-) Ask your brother; I think he'd agree.

  12. @Monnica "Were you one of the guest speakers?" No I was not, but maybe one day ;-)

    @Ms M "What you've created with the City Daily Photo community is very inspiring! " Awwwwwwwwwww!

    @Corinne "So thank you Eric. You're a connector to an abundance ... An opener." Awwwwwwwwwww (bis!) I'm blushing!

    @Magdalena "Ok, now i know that spring has appeared in Paris already. I'm waiting for some sunny pics :) " True! But I don't have a photo to show you yet...

    @Drummond "For a moment I thought it was France's next entry for the Eurovision Song Contest. ;-)" LOOOOOOOOOL

    @Ray "Sometimes creation and passion take ages before converting in money but when it works, it leads to the best and profitable things." I wish LOL!

    @Alexa "are you saying there are people who do things even if there's no money to be had for it?" LOL Actually I did not really want to say that money kills creation or inspiration. Sometimes both can live together.

    @Coltrane "You know Alexa's brother??
