Ul9mate Rush" by Kurt Weston. "These photographs are about the realiza9on of loss, about losing your facade. They say, 'This is your new reality. This is your strange new flesh. Let's take a
look.' "

The New York-‐based Seeing With Photography
How can someone be a blind photographer? Or rather, why would someone want to be? A new exhibit on display at the University of California Riverside/California Museum of Photography explores these ques9ons, through art created by some of the world's most renowned blind photographers. Evgen Bavcar, one of the featured ar9sts in the Sight Unseen exhibit, says, "My images are fragile; I've never seen them, but I know they exist, and some of them have touched me deeply."

“I sat in my first photo blind nearly 40 years ago. I remember my excitement as if it happened only yesterday. I had made the blind from green burlap supported by aluminum poles and set it up in shallow water about 30 meters from a nes9ng common loon. When the bird climbed atop its shoreline nest my heart was pounding so loudly I was certain the noise would frighten the loon away. In the decades since then I have used blinds as oden as I could. “

Portait of Sonia Soberats by Steven Erra
A well-‐known member of the aforemen9oned Seeing With Photography Collec9ve, Soberats lost her eyesight amid several trauma9c life experiences. Her only son and daughter passed away within several years of one another, vic9ms of Hodgkin’s Disease and Ovarian Cancer. Unlike many other impaired photographers, she did not become a photographer un9l ader her blindness was fully realized.

Her haun9ng, whimsical abstrac9ons are oden the focus of momentous, transforma9ve happenings. Miss Soberats’ crea9ons seem to be evoca9ons of her emo9onally taxing journey, and ul9mately a powerful form of chao9c albeit beau9ful expression.
