Eleven students from the Hanbit School for the Blind, located in
South Korea, recently exhibited their photography at Insight Exhibition,
which was organized by Samsung and Kate Oh, vice president and executive
creative director of Cheil Worldwide, a marketing and communications
company headquartered in Seoul, South Korea. The students worked with
professional photographer Kang Young-ho, who taught them how to take
photographs using different senses--hearing, smell, and touch. Then the
students used special cameras that were designed to automatically track
and capture the subject of a photograph. The students began snapping
images around their school and homes, and eventually Samsung and Cheil
flew them to Jeju island, a volcanic island off the coast of South
Korea. It was the first time some of the students had ever flown on an
airplane. Some of the photographs featured in the exhibition show dry
reeds bending in the wind, birds in flight, and one simply depicts the
toes of a boy's feet curled into wet sand. Samsung and Cheil plan
to continue and expand the program for the students at the Hanbit
school. For more information, contact: Kate Oh, vice president and
executive creative director, Cheil Worldwide, Seoul, South Korea; web
