A few weeds ago, Qiana Mestrich, from the lack Star Rising photography blog, ran across the Twitter feed for the Blind Photographers site. Curious, she contacted us and asked to do an interview. Excited by the opportunity, I accepted. Even if I am not the most articulate person to represent Blind Photographers, Qiana took me responses and published them this morning: Braving the Sight Unseen: Interview with Blind Photographer Timothy O’Brien | Black Star Rising.
Braving the Sight Unseen: Interview with Blind Photographer Timothy O’Brien
By Qiana Mestrich
As photographers, our eyes are our most prized possession. The very nature of photography is visual; even the camera lens itself is an invention that attempts to duplicate the operation of the human eye.
So what if the ocular ability you’ve always relied on no longer existed?
I recently had an opportunity to interview blind photographer Timothy O’Brien, whom I met on Twitter; you can follow him @BlindPhotogs. I think you will be enlightened, as I was, by his insights into how blind photographers can practice this art — and why they pursue it despite the challenges.
You can read the rest of the interview here: Braving the Sight Unseen: Interview with Blind Photographer Timothy O’Brien | Black Star Rising.
