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.
And life swells to the strum of a warm and magical new tune.

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.
