Travel Where You Live from Sebastian Linda on Vimeo.
The only thing worse than being blind is having sight and no vision.

One step aside and you might discover something unexpected. It´s amazing what you can find right in front of your door, if you just open your eyes and look a little closer.
In the above video, Travel Where You Live, German photographer Sebastian Linda traveled around in his beautiful home state of Saxony as if he was trekking around in a foreign country.
Sebastian believes that if you travel where you live—and find the awesome places your country has to offer right in front of your doorstep—you’ll see good people, learn volumes, and have new experiences to share with others along the way.
We believe that. Opening up your eyes, being aware, and seeing the newness of things around you. It’s the difference between having sight and having vision. Or, Wake up and Live.
Formic, below, is a bit of a different flavor altogether. German studio Filmakademie Baden-Wuerttemberg captures in stunning effect the world we don’t often see, down close and personal. And who doesn’t like Beethoven’s 5th?
Life is one big road with lots of signs. So when you’re riding through the ruts, don’t complicate your mind. Don’t bury your thoughts. Put your sense of vision to reality.
We’re reminded we are not here merely to make a living. We’re here in order to enable the world to live more amply, with greater vision, with a finer spirit of hope and achievement. We are here to enrich the world. And we impoverish ourselves if we forget the errand.
