Book excerpt: "Shooting Blind"Photographs by the Visually Impaired Introduction by Edward HoaglandInterviews with the photographers "Shooting Blind: Photographs by the Visually Impaired gives us entry to another world-- a reality that is at once mysterious, evocative, and beautiful, arousing a blend of memories and emotions. The unique photographs are made by Seeing with Photography, a collective of photographers with varying degrees of visual impairment-- ranging from legal to complete blindness-- that has been active in New York City for over fifteen years. The group uses their cameras to explore the world and better understand themselves while creating luminous works of art. These compelling black-and-white images are made using an old technique called "painting with light," in which flashlights are used to illuminate the subjects over long exposures in complete darkness. Various tactile and audio cues are used while creating the image; sometimes an assistant will describe the surroundings for those with the most limited vision and help orient their cameras. Through close collaboration, the photographers achieve a result of striking imagery imbued with a charged and bristling energy, distinct from the ordinary. The work represents the collective's response to the world, pushing the human form and creating novel translations-- at times ironic and extravagant. The photographic technique incorporates clashing areas of softness and sharpness, streakiness and luminous distortions, detail and confusion, symbolic of the group's shared visual loss. Accompanying these richly surreal photographs are interviews with the photographers, shedding light on the motivations behind theirwork. Acclaimed novelist and essayist Edward Hoagland's most recent book, "Compass Points, is a memoir, which includes a chapter exploring his descent into almost total blindness. His first book, "Cat Man, won the 1954
Download or read book A Shooting Guide for the Blind written by Carey McWilliams and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2022-08-01 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a guide regarding the proper application of firearms, especially by those with any degree of visual impairment, with an emphasis on safe firearms usage when engaging in activities such as hunting, target shooting, and even selfaEUR"defense at home or on the street. In these pages, the author, Mr. McWilliams, utilizes his thirty years of certified gun training to teach others with visual impairments, as well as those seeking to train them, all the various methods that have allowed him to pass countless shooting exams to obtain a number of stateaEUR"issued concealed carry permits and hunting licenses. For this guide's creation, real guns from the author's personal firearms collection were used as props for certain technical sections, as well as old written text and recorded lectures obtained during his training through the National Rifle Association, law enforcement, and even the United States Army. Topics include how to identify, load, unload, and work with different types of firearms without the benefit of sight, how the military's techniques in closeaEUR"quarters combat governs defensive shooting by the blind, case studies and official government research debunking the myth that blind people pose a greater danger than the sighted regarding firearm usage, and how to find resources to obtain training certification. This book, however, is only intended as a prelude to official gun training by a licensed instructor, not as a standaEUR"alone manual for perspective blind gun users. It is the author's wish that such information included here bridges the gap between blind Americans and their constitutional right to bear arms.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From New York Times bestseller Kody Keplinger comes an astonishing and thought-provoking exploration of the aftermath of tragedy, the power of narrative, and how we remember what we've lost. It's been three years since the Virgil County High School Massacre. Three years since my best friend, Sarah, was killed in a bathroom stall during the mass shooting. Everyone knows Sarah's story--that she died proclaiming her faith. But it's not true. I know because I was with her when she died. I didn't say anything then, and people got hurt because of it. Now Sarah's parents are publishing a book about her, so this might be my last chance to set the record straight . . . but I'm not the only survivor with a story to tell about what did--and didn't--happen that day. Except Sarah's martyrdom is important to a lot of people, people who don't take kindly to what I'm trying to do. And the more I learn, the less certain I am about what's right. I don't know what will be worse: the guilt of staying silent or the consequences of speaking up . . .
Download or read book The Blind Photographer written by Julian Rothenstein and published by Chronicle Books. This book was released on 2016-09-06 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The blind photographer cannot see a butterfly perched perfectly still on a flower, a bowl of sweet-smelling fruit, or a child's rattle on a darkened floor, but the mind's eye is sharply focused. How then, do blind or partially sighted people capture such extraordinary images? The photographs in this revelatory book suggest a deeper truth: that blindness is itself a kind of seeing, and that those who can see are often blind to the strangeness and beauty of the world around them. As the blind photographer Evgen Bavcar writes, "Photography must belong to the blind, who in their daily existence have learned to become the masters of camera obscura." Through the photographs of more than fifty blind or partially sighted people from around the world, this exhilarating book—the first to explore this phenomenon in all its vibrancy and diversity—will make you see differently.

These vast expanses provide a home to wildlife populations, a vital source of clean air and water, and a haven for recreation.
