Have Your PictureTaken By A Blind Person
Frida Kahlo began drawing on her full body cast after a bus accident left her immobilized and bedridden. Her mother had a special easel made and brushes and paint where lent to her by father. A mirror placed above her on the ceiling lead her to paint many self portraits.
" I paint myself because I am so often alone and because I am the subject I know best." Frida Kahlo
Learning this I discerned how courage leads us to adapt in ways to cope in situations that May render us powerless. What better providence of scrying in a mirror with paint and brush the traumas that leave one in quiescence into a efficacious creative, artist such as it did for Frida.
There is a HBO Documentary. "Dark Light: The Art of Blind Photographers." A blind person becoming a photographer at first contemplation may seem impossible in terms of how we understand that seeing and light would be essential to capture a photograph, but the artists in this documentary prove this wrong.
The curator Doug McCullogh from the exhibit: International Photography of Blind Artists says succinctly in the film Dark Light, "Most people think that photographers operate through sight in their eyes, but photographers know they actually operate through their mind and these photographers since they have no sight are making purely mental constructions of photographs they use cameras, and other technologies, scanners to bring a version of that mental image into the world for us to see what they are really thinking about what is sight, what is vision, what's the difference - how do I link the visible world with the invisible world that I live in."
Frida and Artists who are blind rise out of challenges that could render them inert. No matter the struggle or that which we suffer from in making use of what is available to us and using our minds to transform we are able to fortify ourselves and others to ways that seem inconceivable. We only need to reach out and use a medium we find affinity for to simply put into action the creative and artistic for we will be surprised and so shall others in breaking barriers of what all seems impossible- is this what beauty is all about?

Old Pictures
Visiting relatives especially our wise older ones ask them to get out their photo album or box of pictures. Use your phone camera or camera and take a picture of these pictures. Collect pictures of ancestors who have passed. Keep it for your genealogy and ask questions and document for it can be a door that helps you open your history. This can be much fodder of inspiration! Post it to your Facebook page where it will bring much joy to friends and family. Draw them, study how they dressed or make a
Collage! Maybe they will appear in your dreams in a flapper dress or those bell
bottoms from the 70's! Honor the joy they took from taking the pictures by creating something from them!
