Beyond the dark is a photo series that focuses on something new and something that i haven't seen documented before. Because of this it makes it a very striking and intriguing story that keeps you interested in it. it reflects a personal view so that's why i feel its important for this project.
this project makes me question everything i know, it must be so difficult for this couple and understanding how everything that is much simpler to us is a far bigger task for them.
below is a link to the website. There is also a 30 minute film on it also that explores a bit more.

Synopsis
At 19 years old, Hector and Jessica discovered they would be having a baby. The couple faced the reality of having to care for a child while struggling with their own limitations.
Beyond the Dark is the story of a young, blind couple starting a family and striving to independently raise their sighted daughter. The half-hour documentary explores the challenging economic, social, and personal barriers to parenting with a disability. “I want everything to be different than my life,” says Jessica, “I want her to have a real childhood.”
Beyond the Dark confronts the uncertainty of the family’s future in a society that often defines the visually impaired by their disability.
