“A picture tells a thousand words.” This old adage, as common as it is, speaks the truth every time. Every photo and video frame tell, shape, and share stories in ways that our own words cannot fully express. This is the magic that drives communities like ours. For this week’s selection of 2018 SkyPixel submissions, please enjoy these ten short videos that share unique and universal stories of adventure, love, meaning, and the beauty of life.
