"Spanish photojournalist Juan Torre began to suffer from
Behcet's syndrome - a rare disease that left him almost totally blind by the
age of 30. Despite being unable to make out more than shapes and colours, Juan
didn't give up photography altogether. He talks about how he adapted his
techniques and came up with an idea to help blind people explore his photos
through touch."
There are more details and photos on the Outlook Facebook page : scroll down to May 14th and 15th.
One of their listeners, Ojambo Muza, commented, "Thanks Juan, this is one way to show our brothers and sisters with disabilities that the world cares about them and that they are part of us!"
