Please view my FLIP video camera coverage of the JR @ TED event in beautiful Long Beach, CA. http://youtu.be/rtQhj715PtU

I would love for JR and/or TED engage FLIP users to videotape their images. Please note that Cisco’s CEO John Chambers is squashing the FLIP into selling it. Perhaps someone associated with TED will want to buy it?!

I love these photograph,they are very expressive.I love the fact that it makes people closer,I’m very touched by the photographs in Israel because it’s as if he destroyed the huge wall between Israeli and Palestinian territories.He made people realise that there are no striking differences between Palestinian and Israeli people.We realise with these photographs that JR is very sensitive and generous .Thank you Jr !!!!

I am curious how he claimed the prize and maintained anonymity. That would be a good story.

ARTivism at its best! :-)

When art and science are in balance the beauty of life blossoms at its best.

May we all discover the “JR” within our being.

May all become compassionate, courageous and wise.
