Australian Ray Collins is a former coal miner turned photographer. Granted, his work is beautiful, but what makes it all the more fascinating is the fact that he's color blind.
Ray is a living embodiment of the truth that one should not allow other people's perceptions of their challenges to stop them from pursuing their goals. Surely there were people who told him that a person who is color blind couldn't be a photographer.
Looking at his work, one sees that his different way of seeing in no way stops him from taking amazing photographs.
A person can learn to work with his or her challenges. It is a shame that we don't support each other more often to do so.
