Eight out of ten blind people live in the developing world, and the
vast majority of this blindness is preventable. These facts
constitute A Journey in Sight, a project by photographer Jarret
Schecter who was astounded by the conditions he witnessed in
Burkina Faso, one of the world's poorest countries. Here Schecter
illuminates the link between poverty and blindness--40 million
people suffer from preventable blindness that arises from Vitamin A
deficiency, unsanitary conditions, minimal health care, and other
issues. Presented are touching and heartfelt images of these
persons in their habitats. But this isn't merely a journey into the
world's less fortunate regions--a percentage of each sale of A
Journey in Sight will be donated to Orbis, an organization that
provides free or inexpensive eye treatment to people who needlessly
suffer from preventable blindness.
