Blind Photographer Pete Eckert Describes How He Sees and Captures the World
When Pete Eckert found out he was going to lose his sight to retinitis pigmentosa 27 years ago, he was well on his way to becoming an architect, receiving acceptances from graduate programs. It was also around this time that he discovered his mother's old camera.
He's now an award-winning photographer, and in the above short by The Avant/Garde Diaries, he describes how he sees the world and uses his photography to create "a bridge between the world of the blind and sighted."
