Janis Gleizds (1924 –2010) is one of the most famous Latvian photographer who spent most of his life. In 1948, at the age of 24, after the accident, he was amputated by both hands, but as the harsh fate, John Glaisd was able to preserve his life, take photographs, and become a legend of this field, creating photographs that were still showing the spectators with his delicacy and poetry.
