Israeli Trailblazers

Picture this: you're cruising through life, sight intact, and then, at 26, bam! The lights go out. Meet Mr. Pete Eckert, a pro photographer whose world got flipped upside down by a Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP) diagnosis, throwing a wrench into his architectural dreams and Yale University plans. But hold on, this isn't your average tale of woe. Pete didn't just fold; he forged a damn successful career as a self-taught photographer, snapping shots that redefine what you think you see. CNN even gave him a nod for starring in a Google "Be My Eyes" commercial. Join us as we dive into Pete Eckert's mind-blowing journey, where he defies the limits, proving that vision extends way beyond what meets the eye. Trust me, this is the best 15 minutes you'll spend today. It's a wild ride that'll have you questioning everything.
