Blind/Sight
Conversations with the Visually Inspired
Conversations with the Visually Inspired
Blindness is not always darkness and darkness is not always lack of vision. These photographs introduce you to twelve individuals who see the world not through their eyes, but from their heart.
What does it mean to be blind, to have a visual impairment, not to see? I thought it was about darkness. It is not. It is about light, energy and the boundless creativity of the human mind to discover the world using all senses.
Each of us has a unique view of the world around us. The people documented here know that. They have discovered their own ways of seeing and ask only that you join in their conversation.
We all have different ways of seeing, the important thing is that we listen.
