Sound for Sight is raising funds and awareness towards Sightsavers’ work eliminating the World’s leading cause of preventable blindness, trachoma.
Trachoma is a bacterial infection linked to inadequate water and sanitation and passed on by flies. It is referred to as ‘neglected tropical diseases’ and can be prevented and ultimately eliminated entirely.
The Sound for Sight audience will be taken on a spectacular sensory experience during the show that has been carefully curated by Sound for Sight Founder, Laura Westcott and ‘Mo Pleasure’ the former Music Director of Earth, Wind & Fire.
Charlotte Kelly, Soul II Soul
Charlotte rose to fame in the mid 1990s as one of the lead singers of British R&B group Soul II Soul, with hit songs “Back to Life” and “Keep on Movin”.
Charlotte was born blind at birth with no sight at all in her left eye and virtually none in her right eye.
“I am very excited and delighted to perform at Sound for Sight because being blind from birth, sound is one of the most important tools we possess as blind and visually impaired people. So, treatment and eradication of blindness is a blessing for the growth on the human experience.” – Charlotte Kelly
Denise Leigh
Denise made her operatic debut in 2003 by winning Channel 4’s Operatunity and playing the role of Gilda in Verdi’s Rigoletto at the London Coliseum.
Since then, Denise has sung all over the world and was honoured to headline the London 2012 Paralympic opening ceremony.
Both Denise and her husband Stefan (who will accompany Denise on piano) are visually impaired with a visually impaired son.
“The treatment and eradication of blindness, in all it’s forms, is a cause very close to our hearts and we are delighted to be performing at Sound for Sight to help fund research and treatment.” Denise and Stefan

Georgia & The Vintage Youth
A 22 year old Essex Girl with big blonde hair, a spine-tingling voice and a master of the retro jazz/swing style of music that is both vintage and fresh (hence the name of the band).
Georgia’s sound is contagious and subconsciously gets you tapping your feet, whilst her ballads are stripped back allowing Georgia’s strong and iconic vocal to make the hairs on the back of your neck stand on end.
Joe Slater
A 22-year-old lad from Liverpool who blurs the lines between Blues, Soul and Rock ‘n’ Roll whilst taking inspiration from The Beatles, Bruce Springsteen and Oasis.
“With his raspy voice, perfect pitch and soulful delivery, Slater is unquestionably destined for stardom….” London Hollywood
Don’t miss what promises to be an extraordinary night for a very worthy cause on World Sight Day.

My first accesory- the Trijicon reflex sight. Made using shapes in PMG, and I photoshopped in the curve because I am terrible at curves in PMG. Also photoshopped the grooves on the end of the lense and the adjustment thingy at the rear of it. Oh and the mount is the 'preset' acog mount, didnt see much point in remaking the same thing.
If you want to use it, let me know and credit me. You may remove my name from the top.
I would like to thank all the young and old gentlemen at my local railway station for wearing their DMs with pride today. Never had so many sightings at the station before!
Yey, first sight of my home for the next 5 weeks. We crossed from Siberia to Japan in about 30 minutes and the first sight we had was of mountains in the north. Cool :D
Advanced Optics green dot laser sight mounted on Celestron Astromaster 130AZ telescope. Designed as a firearms sight, this unit works perfectly as an astronomical tool. Once properly mounted and aligned, you simply press the remote switch and swing the telescope to point the highly visible green beam at the object you wish to observe. Fast, easy and accurate! (and relatively inexpensive...the laser unit sells on Amazon for $22, plus $9 for the rail to mount the laser to the telescope)
Saw the Arc de Triomf, Parc de la Ciutadella, Hotel Omm, Casa Àsia, Casa Comalat, Carrer de Cambrils and the waterfront while taking a long walk to get over my jet lag
An Unusual Sighting of an XPT Service at 14:00pm ... This was the XPT Unit that Struck a Tree Earlier in the Week and has been stabled at North Dynon... This unit did a Test Run to Tottenham and return...
Badhpur (Desia kondh village)
It was a bit dark
at the entrance
of that Badhpur house,
but I decided
to took this photo anyway
even if light
was so low.
I liked
the staring sight
and the curious expression
of the second girl
on the background.
In my opinion
she is the subjet
of the photo.
Tokyo Big Sight (東京ビッグサイト Tōkyō Biggu Saito) es el sobrenombre popular del Centro de Exposición Internacional de Tokio (東京国際展示場 Tōkyō Kokusai Tenjijō), un centro de convenciones japonés abierto en abril de 1996. Localizado en Odaiba, en la Bahía de Tokio, el centro es uno de los centros de convención más grandes en la ciudad, y una de las representaciones más icónicas es la Torre de Conferencias. Dos veces al año se celebra el Comiket, una convención de venta de dōjinshi.
Contraída por la Oficina de Finanzas del Gobierno Metropolitano de Tokio, la construcción del sitio estuvo a cargo de ocho contratistas en total, entre ellos compañías como las Corporaciones Hazama y Shimizu. La construcción empezó en octubre de 1992 y terminó en octubre de 1995. Costó en total 40.392 millones de Yen. El 45% de esa suma fue al que estaba a cargo de la Torre, la Corporación Hazama.
About :
A very large sightseeing point in Sapporo - Okurayama Viewing point. also this is the same place that winter olympic before.
In order to take the clearest sight of Sapporo, I use 50mm to shot every angle for panorama. Since the sunlight was too blight, I also take 3 step to make them HDR. So it's total 102 images. The original image is extremely large! (31899px x 7927) and the file size is 6.74GB!! I think i really need an larger hard drive for my computer...orz
Watch the Zoomable Full Size here : www.ryancheng.hk/portfolio/sight-to-sapporo/

This was when we knew our trip would be wonderful: When God peeks from behind a cloud over your airplane, you know the destination MUST be wonderful.
On this particular day, the sun was super bright. Usually blocked by trees, I had to work to get the sun to dip behind one.
What a sight to see this great ship passing by.
