The blind photographer cannot see a butterfly perched perfectly still on a flower; a bowl of sweet-smelling fruit; or a childs rattle on a darkened floor; but the minds eye is sharply focused. How then; do blind or partially sighted people capture such extraordinary images? The photographs in this revelatory book suggest a deeper truth: that blindness is itself a kind of seeing; and that those who can see are often blind to the strangeness and beauty of the world around them. As the blind photographer Evgen Bavcar writes; "Photography must belong to the blind; who in their daily existence have learned to become the masters of camera obscura." Through the photographs of more than fifty blind or partially sighted people from around the world; this exhilarating bookmdash;the first to explore this phenomenon in all its vibrancy and diversitymdash;will make you see differently.
