Blind Photographers

Blind photography: the very concept sounds like an oxymoron. But an intriguing and often striking exhibition of photographs in Riverside, California, argues that it emanates from the core of contemporary art. The show “Sight Unseen,” at the California Museum of Photography until Aug. 29, features everything from underwater scenes off Catalina Island, transvestites in New Orleans and Braille-enhanced black-and-whites as well as portraits, nudes, landscapes, travel shots, abstracts, collages, and everything else you might expect from a “sighted” photographer.

An extraordinary article about photographers/artists who are blind. This takes pre-visualisation to a new level. And their work is much more interesting than that of many people who have full sight. Looks like you don’t need sight to have an impressive vision.
