A kitchen conversation, An American Mosaic on the road

New Years morning 2018 in the kitchen with David, innkeeper for 40 years on the southwest corner of Washington's coast, near the Oregon border. Talking about life in the rural communities in this area. An American Mosaic will be gathering stories from across the country in 2018.

An American Mosaic is on the road!

My project An American Mosaic is underway. I am capturing video conversations with people around the U.S. There are many stories. This is a historic time we are in and it is important to spend some time getting to know one another. This is a very short trailer of things to come when I have the content for a final documentary. So far over 30 conversations have been captured on video.

An American Mosaic is gathering supporters... a project worth doing

PEOPLE ARE RESPONDING

“You are describing a mosaic of broken connectivity, perhaps not broken in terms of use of artificial intelligence, data sharing, or any other emerging technology, but broken in human terms of face to face communication, listening and courtesy. I wish you much success in your endeavor to gain a better understanding of how we can better engage and understand one another in a modern century with modern tools.”

‘If you are in anyway engaged with recent events, and the need for change that was so overwhelmingly voiced, you understand that a lot of people feel that their country has failed them.’ – “You're talking about me John. Fantastic project - please let me know if I can be of any assistance. I'm anxious to see your results!”

“Bravo! I think we all need to do this! We don't know each other like we should. We have more in common than not, I feel sure. I'll be eager to see your project unfold!”

“As part of the 'rest of the world,' I will be watching and listening as well. Canadians want to understand America as well. . .”

“Sounds incredible, what a great undertaking.”

“We're listening, John. Signed, the choir.”

An American Mosaic, a project starting in the summer of 2017

An American Mosaic, an important project. Sometimes events change the course of your life. That happened to me and set me on a journey to discover who the American People are. It is a far cry from hanging out in paradise on a somewhat remote beach on the Pacific Coast of Mexico. The noise just got too loud and I could not ignore it. I have created a project that I am calling "An American Mosaic". It is journey to photograph, video, and tell the stories of the American People. Starting in the summer of 2017. You can find me on LinkedIn.
