The Art and Heart of Blind Photographers

The same blindness list that has brought RantWoman some other really cool art moments involving blind and visually-impaired visual artists brings the following item from Time magazine The Art and Heart of Blind Photographers about an exhibit currently running at the California Museum of Photography.

Read the article: it is much better than RantWoman would do on the fly.

If you need a teaser, look at some of the photos first:

The photos are nicely tagged! Some of them really do look like an average day in RantWoman's head.

RantWoman especially likes the teamwork required by the artist who uses a braillewriter to punch titles into his prints: a sighted person needs a blind person to read the braille; the blind person can have the sighted person describe the work.

RantWoman is also meditating about the message in herent in the delivery medium. RantWoman herself appreciates the whole show much more because she can make Mr. JAWS read the text and blow up the images right in front of her nose. She is unlikely to rush out and buy the print edition of Time where the article appears and she wonders how many of the artists featured share her assessment or whether some of them would do the squint up really close thing RantWoman sometimes does.
