Affirmation of life is the spiritual act by which man ceases to live thoughtlessly and begins to devote himself to his life with reverence in order to give it true value. — Albert Schweitzer

BBC News - The man who turns hubcaps into owls
13 June 2014 Last updated at 00:16 BST
Ptolemy Elrington sees animals in everyday objects - usually unwanted objects that have been discarded and left as rubbish.
The self-styled hubcap artist first became fascinated with scrap when he found an abundance of plastic car waste near his home in Bradford.
Later a trip to India convinced him that a lot could be made with the material that society threw away.
Now a full time artist based in Brighton, he has developed his own method for sculpting plastic scrap - with a special interest in fish.
Video Journalist: Dougal Shaw
Real Time is a series for the BBC News website in which ordinary people tell their own extraordinary stories.
