Blind Photography Listmania

I have begun compiling a list of books (and DVDs if there are any) by and/or about blind photographers. Blind Photographers, named for the flickr group for visually-impaired photographers, currently only has four titles, including Seeing Beyond Sight and Shooting Blind. Please check it out.

PS Let me know if you have any additions.

Disc Golf Spread in the Chapel Hill News


The Chapel Hill News published a nice spread of my photos from a shoot this past Saturday for an article on the rise of the sport of disc golf in the area. The full spread is here. I documented a round of disc golf for the shoot with UNC's Carolina Disc Golf Club. More images from the shoot are in on Flickr here.

The shoot was a ton of fun. I had never heard of disc golf before, so all was new to me. One of the club leaders guided me along with his party through the course, a mix of wooded bike trials and former golf fairways. The beautiful fall foliage made for wonderful backdrops, though it make the discs (aka frisbees) occasionally tricky to find.

Apparently, there are several disc golf courses around the Triangle with more underway. Maybe, I'll take the wife and dogs out for round?

Another local blind photographer

The Carrboro Commons reports on a "Blind photographer" who lives and works in the next town over. What a small world. Georg Gordon freelances for the Carrboro Citizen while I occasionally free lance for the local Chapel Hill News.

We adopted two four-month old puppies last week from the local

shepherd-lab mix. They are cute, curious and chaotic!

VisionWalk 2008: Will you walk the Walk?

Our local VisionWalk, which raises money for the Foundation Fighting Blindness, is coming up in June. So I am getting serious about organizing my walking team and finding support. I would like to ask that you consider helping out your local walk in some way; with your feet, with your checkbook or even with your camera.

I am organizing Team Eureka for this year's VisionWalk in Raleigh, NC. If you will be in the Triangle area, please consider walking with us. You can join the team, help us raise money or assist us in whatever way you would like.

Thanks!
