Alex de Jong
The F-Stop Beyond podcast recently interviewed Alex de Jong, a blind photographer and integral member of the Blind Photographers community. F-Stop Beyond is “the show that started it all. There are already so many podcasts about photography that cover f-stops and Photoshop, business and branding, but host Ron Dawson couldn’t find any that really got into the meat of WHO the photographer IS, rather than HOW he or she shoots.” F-Stop Beyond describes the interview:
“What would you do as a visual artist if you lost the ability to see? How would that affect your life? There often comes a time in a person;s life when he or she is faced with a decision that can have a profound impact on the rest of their life. When life, in all of its ebbs and flows, throws a curve ball you didn’t see coming. Today’s guest had TWO such curve balls. First, he was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Then, as a result of that tumor, he lost his eye sight. Alex de Jong is a symbol of how far the human spirit can go when given the right perspective. Alex will share with us how he got into photography, and how he copes with his physical condition. I hope you will be inspired by his tenacity and outlook on life.
