Look: Blind Photographers
"My images are fragile; I've never seen them, but I know they exist, and some of them have touched me deeply." ©Evgen Bavcar
For many years I've had a reoccurring dream where I go blind. Once, this dream involved me struggling to load a roll of film, unable to see, unable to photograph. Sight Unseen, currently at the California Museum of Photography highlights work from a multitude of blind photographers who create haunting, tender, passionate images, and reminds me that the power of images can transcend all imaginable boundaries.

The New York Times launched "Lens" today and I couldn't help but notice the striking similarity between their post about David Burnett's photos of Bob Marley and a post by NPR's Picture Show this past March.

Lens is the photojournalism blog of The New York Times, presenting the most interesting visual and multimedia reporting — photographs, videos and slide shows. A showcase for Times photographers, it also seeks to highlight the best work of other newspapers, magazines and news and picture agencies; in print, in books, in galleries, in museums and from around the Web. And it will draw on The Times's own pictorial archive, numbering in the millions of images and going back to the early 20th century.

Today's Picture Show highlights the work of Joanne Leonard. I found her images so tender and timeless and was struck by an incredible sense of nostalgia, especially with this image.

Look: Jo Ann Callis
I went to The Getty Museum while in LA this past weekend and was struck by the eerie tone of some of Jo Ann Callis' work. The pairing of these images and others found in her work from the late 70's captivated and disturbed me.
