Two words can make or break a man. That is the lesson learned in a wonderfully inspiring video, titled I’m Possible, from renowned illustrator-turned-photographer, Jeremy Cowart.

Those words were ‘I can’t.’ And, one day after another, those five letters were removed from his vocabulary, with the help of his parents and ever-inspiring mentors along the way.

Despite poor grades and a short attention span throughout schooling, Cowart would eventually come to realize his true passion and abilities lied in the arts.

In the 25-minute video, we’re told the story of how Jeremy Cowart became the man, father, husband, illustrator, photographer and philanthropist he is today. Set some time aside to really give Cowart’s video a watch. It’s not often we get a glimpse, let alone an entire biography, of a man deemed the most influential photographer on the internet.
