Do you know TED Talks?

I love them. They are such a wonderful reminder of all the amazing people in the world, just so inspirational. The children and I have taken to streaming a TED talk each morning during the half hour drive to school. The talks invariably open our eyes to the possibilities of the world and the future. And this could be more important, they show that to achieve something amazing, you do have to work really hard and be really persistent.

Our favourites have been Caleb Chung, who is a toy inventor. He actually made Furby, amongst many others. We also loved  Arthur Benjamin’s Mathemagic. Just google ‘TED talks for kids’.

But what’s up with the guy with the pillows on his head? Well, I realise I seem to have stopped taking photos here in Ghana. Which is nuts because the streets are full of amazing scenes, which we would never see in Australia. (As an aside, I always ask before I take a photo and many people here don’t want their photograph taken, fair enough too). I joined Instagram a few months ago, and while I love the concept, I haven’t really got into it. So, when I found this TED talk by Matt Cutts on making changes, however small, to your life, I thought it was time for a 30 day photography challenge.

So for the month of May I’m posting a photo a day on Instagram, with the hashtag #30days. You can find all my photos here. Feel free to join in!
