Have you ever wondered what inspires art? Where art comes from? What makes something art?

Art comes from all around us. It comes from within us. We are art.

Caring about others is an art. War is an art. Not a pretty one but it is an art none the less. Living is an art, although one that at times seems to almost be a lost art.

My art comes from empathy and loss. Empathy, the greatest loss we have encountered. Loss of empathy, that is my greatest inspiration. Not my loss of empathy, but yours.

I found this just recently in the midst of a crowd. This is my art.

The shot I missed was her giving him her smoothie.

This is more than the art of street photography, this is the art of empathy, caring and love.

This is my inspiration. What is yours?
