PEOPLE AND PLACES - THROUGH THE LENS OF A BLIND PHOTOGRAPHER

Hi folks,

I just received an invitation to the photo exhibition of a fellow forum member JOHN HOERNER.

Maybe you ask yourself, what's so special about John's exhibition that I'm doing him a free advertising? It's John's spirit and power of will that deserves this announcement and all our support! John lost nearly all of his vision but this does not stop him from taking photos. This is a great example of human will and we should all follow John's example!

John uses various cameras, but Ricoh seems to be his most favorite brand. And I have to say, many of his photos are very good! If you can, you should definitely go and visit his exhibition! Sadly, as a European, I will hardly able to make, but maybe some of the Australian members from the Melbourne area will be able to come (what about a local Australian Ricoh meetup?). Here are the details:

Hi guys,

John sent me some photos from his exhibition. Enjoy them!

John told me that the exhibition has been a great success for him. Over half of the photos have been sold and some even in multiple copies! But most importantly, this exhibition seems made him happy again and lifted his self-confidence!

Here are the pics:
