Sometimes you have to follow your counterintuition.
After a stint teaching art to blind children, San Francisco visual artist Tony Deifell started putting cameras into the hands of visually impaired and blind teenagers as a new means of self-expression for them. The results have proven remarkable -- beautiful, haunting images that are chosen, framed, and captured using senses other than sight.
Over 100 of these photographs have been compiled into a book called Seeing Beyond Sight. There are talks, exhibits, and book signings taking place over the next few months -- check here for details.
