I Left My Art In San Francisco
California is the place to be if you're interested in seeing the work of blind photographers. Peter Eckert, a member of the RPList who lost his vision six years ago, is currently showing his work at Varnish Fine Art Gallery until 5 April 2005. From the San Francisco Chronicle:
About five years ago, when Eckert was still coming to terms with his loss of sight, he was cleaning out a drawer at his Sacramento home and found a camera with infrared settings. He thought about how invisible wavelengths might influence a blind person trying to use the camera. A lightbulb came on in his head, and it made him smile.
