Sara Hansson and Jens Lennartsson feel that the media at large has painted an unfair and inaccurate picture of children in developing countries. And so, they’ve founded an organization EYE AM, the main goal of EYE AM is to let kids in developing countries change the way we see the world, through photography.
To do this they have to raise the money needed to buy the 20 sets of cameras and computers to make the three first photo workshops for kids in developing countries.
Jens Lennartsson – more about his project
Doing a crowdfunding project to make a great non-profit possible. It is called EYE AM and our mission is to do on-site photo workshops for kids in developing countries to give them the chance to tell their story from their perspective. Instead of letting common media be the only one, telling their sometimes flat and generalizing point of view.
In the crowdfunding campaign, people are able to pre-buy the book (among other rewards), to fund the project. In three weeks we are hoping to raise 25 000 euro that will make it possible to buy the 20 sets of cameras and computers needed.
The first three locations on their list: The Ukraine, Kenya and Ethiopia. If they reach their funding goal (€25,000 or about $33,350), they will be able to start their journey and travel to each of these in turn.

Take a look between the comparison of Leica X vario and Fujifilm X100S, the Leica X vario features 16 MP, APS-C CMOS image sensor and ISO 100-12500 on the other hand Fujifilm X100S features 16MP APS-C X-Trans CMOS II Sensor and Expandable ISO 100-25600, take a look at the Major Specification Below.
About the sensors
A large APS-C CMOS image sensor is integrated into the X100S to provide high image quality and detail. Using Fujifilm’s unique X-Trans bespoke pixel array, the sensor is designed with a randomized pixel pattern to eliminate the need of an optical low-pass filter for reducing moiré and aliasing. By removing this filter from the design, higher image sharpness is possible. Lens Modulation Optimizer (LMO) factors are also taken into account using the EXR Processor II, which helps to automatically compensate for aberrations and diffraction blur in order to produce images with the utmost inherent sharpness. The image sensor also utilizes backside illumination technology to help with the integration of phase-detection pixels into the sensor for improved autofocus performance without affecting image quality.
Not much details available about Leica X vario uses APS-C size sensor features a resolution of 16.1MP.
Lens
Fujifilm features built-in 23mm f/2 fixed focal length lens gives a 35mm-equivalent focal length of 35mm, making it more compact and easy to carry.
