Tim Hetherington: Portraits of the blind

Link: Tim Hetherington: Portraits of the blind | Le Journal de la Photographie

In these photographs, Tim Hetherington takes a look at the eyes of those who cannot see. From 1999 to 2003, the late photographer visited the Milton Margai School for the Blind in Sierra Leone. Most of these sightless children were victims of the civil war, which began in 1991. Some were mutilated by rebel fighters while others were blinded by shrapnel.
