Blind Photography

Now usually i would start out with part A but i'm going to start with part B simply because its suuuper cool. This guy is a blind photographer that uses sound to help him visualize what he's photographing and was recently sponsored by a well known art company called "Artists Wanted" This got him a lot of attention and several galleries.

PART A

Doris Ulmann was definitely beyond her time era as a woman in the early 1900's. She was a native to new york city and became very independent as an artist and a person. She was most famous for her portraits in the Appalachians. She did a very good job documenting the life of the poor and african american culture in the early 1900's. I couldn't imagine how much ridicule she must've gotten for the following reasons, she was an independent working woman and she was spending a lot of time with african americans which was not acceptable back then. She is still known as one of the best american photographers thus far.
