Ultimate Rush" by Kurt Weston. "These photographs are about the realization of loss, about losing your facade. They say, 'This is your new reality. This is your strange new flesh. Let's take a look.' "
The New York-based Seeing With Photography How can someone be a blind photographer? Or rather, why would someone want to be? A new exhibit on display at the University of California Riverside/California Museum of Photography explores these questions, through art created by some of the world's most renowned blind photographers. EvgenBavcar, one of the featured artists in the Sight Unseen exhibit, says, "My images are fragile; I've never seen them, but I know they exist, and some of them have touched me deeply."
“I sat in my first photo blind nearly 40 years ago. I remember my excitement as if it happened only yesterday. I had made the blind from green burlap supported by aluminum poles and set it up in shallow water about 30 meters from a nesting common loon. When the bird climbed atop its shoreline nest my heart was pounding so loudly I was certain the noise would frighten the loon away. In the decades since then I have used blinds as often as I could. “

Portait of Sonia Soberats by Steven Erra A well-known member of the aforementioned Seeing With Photography Collective, Soberats lost her eyesight amid several traumatic life experiences. Her only son and daughter passed away within several years of one another, victims of Hodgkin’s Disease and Ovarian Cancer. Unlike many other impaired photographers, she did not become a photographer until after her blindness was fully realized.

Pete Eckert, Electroman One of Eckert's techniques involves using a composite body view camera mounted on a tripod. Focusing with notches carved into a focus rail, he throws his studio into total darkness, opens the shutter, and roams the space "painting" his image with light, using flashlights, candles, lasers and other devices.
