It was by sheer coincidence that I found the Seeing With Photography link on A Photo A Day and received an email from Partho Bhowmick, who runs the organization Blind With Camera.

Partho sent me some samples [the link to the site is apparently linked to a PowerPoint presentation that on the Safari and Firefox browsers doesn't show up. Something he may want to rectify]

Anyway, it has taken be some time to post these but I have held on to them because they are so special. Shot by the visually impaired, it calls to question our ability to see beyond the obvious when we raise the camera to our functioning eyes. For these artists and the work presented here, one gets the sense that they “felt” something deep inside of them when they tripped the shutter. May we also harken back to those days when an image was made by technique, skill and gut instinct.

What I absolutely love about this image (and I am assuming it wasn't posed) is the visual echo one can see for oneself. Do you see it? Can you appreciate it?

The light on the man, his hands folded in prayer is a bit on the hotter side, but that's nit-picking. The cold stone juxtaposed against the warmth of the sun on the man is beautifully executed. It's the yin-yang of life, right in front of us. What stories one can spin from just this one image!

I love it when elements simply come together so well. How many of us look for these features in our own images? This is what makes an image come alive for me.

Well done Selvaprakash!

The suspense. The anticipation. The body language. The wires at this guy's feet. The ambiguity of the image as a whole. Love it all.
