Colors 72 by Tim Yu

For issue 72, Colors, the global and socially conscious magazine, has gone without, well, colors. Why? "There are 40 million blind people in the world. Colors devotes a black-white-issue issue to them."

For a demographic that doesn't usually get to enjoy magazines, this first colorless Colors includes inspiring first person stories from blind people and a four-language CD with audio of the entire issue which also features gypsy music by blind violinist Tcha Limberger. Those of us who are fortunate to have vision, will enjoy the rich and moving black and white photos. More images from the issue after the jump.
