No Light Lost On The Blind Boys

The Travel Photographer (always a great source of inspiration) has introduced me to the Blind Boys.

This is how they introduce themselves

Idea

Charles Harbutt said, “A writer can write in a void (many do). Beethoven was deaf. Sculptors can sculpt and painters paint miles and years from the sources of their vision. But camera lenses require both light and some real thing external to materials and maker. If a photographer, with the best film and camera, stepped into a seamless sphere and there was no light, he could produce one black picture.”

We don’t make black pictures but we might as well if there is no place to showcase it.

We are driven at Blindboys.org to turn on the lights and build a space to see  Asian Photography in a new light.

duckrabbit thinks there’s some great stuff on Blind Boys and recommends you spend some time on the site.
