An Inspirational Art Exhibit By Photographer Ian Ruhter

For those of you who have heard of Ian Ruhter, you know that he is an amazing and talented photographer whose work has been featured on countless magazine covers and campaigns throughout the world. I first recognized him through his work in Transworld Snowboarding and the incredible shots that he captured. For those of you who don’t know who he is, well, I just told you BUT you have an opportunity to experience something completely unique and thoughtful three years in the making from Ian.

Thursday, December 10th Ian Ruhter will be displaying the “Enabled Project” in downtown Los Angeles. This project “tells the stories of 9 athletes who overcame unimaginable obstacles in their lives by making the decision to never give up; and to keep their dreams alive, even when they were the only ones who believed they were achievable” (www.enabledproject.com). Speechless yet? Ian met one stranger with one powerful story that inspired him to begin this incredible journey.

The Enabled Project seeks to point out the ambiguity of the term, “disabled” through each of these unbelievable and exceptional individuals that were deemed by society as disabled. It consists of a documentary which will tell the stories as if they were one person, a book that focuses on each individual’s personal story and an art exhibit displaying photography and video that shows the making of the exhibit.

I can not even imagine how amazing and inspiring this exhibit will be. The show will be traveling the nation so if you can’t make it to Los Angeles for this one, be sure to stay informed about where Ian is going to take the Enabled Project through his website and the Enabled website. There is a ton of information about this show so be sure and click HERE.

“I am sharing this work because I want to inspire people with the determination and courage that these athletes have, and remind us that we are enabled beyond measure, no matter what our circumstances may be.” – Ian Ruhter
