In the last couple of months I’ve had a few presentations to prepare and it has been blessedly wonderful to draw down on the incredible images that one can find on Unsplash!

I’m a relative newcomer to Unsplash. I love it.

My dear friend, photographer and all round fab human, Sharon Pittaway, first mentioned it to me a year or so ago – a few  of her own images are there at @sharonp.

This post is simply to express gratitude to the site innovators and hosts – and deeply, deeply, very much, to the photographers who so generously make their beautiful work available.

They have saved me so much time. So much! And so much late-at-night hassle.

Their work makes it so easy, through the visual beauty the artists have supplied, to add a rich, positive, emotional valence, to ground and complement informational content.

We cannot do without our artists. Their work shores the foundations of our best human selves.

My gratitude in a truck!

Well… in a blog at least. And I want to shout-out my thanks to the individual photographers whose work I have recently used. 

For adults unable to read and write, life may feel like parched ground.

This image contributed to a presentation titled Tilling New Ground with Familiar Tools: Adult Literacy & the Speech Language Pathologist. It represented the goodness of the soil that is every human… offered with hope.

And there is much in our world to inspire us to hope.
