Celebrate What's Right with the World! - Dewitt Jones and the Facebook Celebrate Tribe
I N T R O D U C T I O N
Celebrating What’s Right with the World. It’s a concept that has changed my life. For over twenty years, as a photographer for National Geographic, this was the vision I was charged with capturing. Yes, I photographed some things that were tragic and heart wrenching but my overall job was to find the very best in every person and situation and bring it to light in an image. That vision not only became the way I shoot, but the way I see. And what I see on our little planet is a lot more good than evil; a lot more beauty than ugliness.
This is not the prevailing view, however. Every day we seem bombarded with all that’s wrong with society. After a while, we begin to believe it. It takes discipline to buck the tide and see what’s right in our lives and the lives of others. Really, discipline? Yes, really. The discipline of celebration.
So three years ago, I committed to post a daily Facebook photo of my celebrations. I had no idea how hard or easy it would be, I just knew I had to do it if I was going to keep alive the vision that had been so important to me over the years. Every day I would post a photo and some words describing why this thing or that event was a worthy of celebration.
And something amazing happened.
People wrote saying they not only enjoyed my photos and my words but that my posts were giving them permission to celebrate as well. That the simple discipline of going through a day continually asking, What’s here to celebrate?
really did change their attitude toward life.
Based on that feedback, I started the Celebrate What’s Right Facebook page (www.facebook.com/celebratewhatsright) where others could post their photos and words of celebration.
In the last year and a half, more than 7,000 people have ‘liked’ the site and more than 10,000 photographs have been posted on it. Amazing! Thousands of uplifting visual stories of joy and
