This is some photography work from Pete Eckert. He is blind and started photography after he lost his sight. He believes that he is a visual person and sees things with his mind which enables him to create the art that he does.
I find this very interesting and this is part of where i'm going to steer my FMP. I want to investigate into how blind people, among other people that I will look into, perceive the world. I want to see how they view things, the struggles they have and how they are able, in some cases, to create such stunning work like that of Pete Eckert.
I am also going to look into people that have schizophrenia and other conditions that basically can affect peoples perceptual view of the world. I will investigate into these conditions, how it affects them and try to discover the way in which they view the world around them. I will then try to create their views from the knowledge I gain. I hope to create some interesting pieces of work, whilst also creating some awareness on the conditions.
