This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Music is a way for people to bond - its vibrations help the bridge the gap between us.  In uncomfortable times, it can be the common vibrations of a mutual bond.  In this discussion, Jason unveils his new charity project, "Six Beats of Separation," a photo series which captures the moods of celebrities, attached to specific moments in music.

Portrait photographer Jason Joseph has captured images of personalities from A-list celebrities to the homeless of Penn Station.  It is his mission to create "WOW!" moments, for children from age 8 to 108.

A denizen of New York City, he was a witness to the twin beauties who crumbled into Lower Manhattan, and also to the resilient spirit of the city which supports them.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
