Pete Eckert is a blind photographer.
Need I say more?
“Women talk about a glass ceiling. Blind folks face a glass front door. We can look into the workplace but aren’t allowed to enter. I do something else. I slip photos under the door from the world of the blind to be viewed in the light of the sighted.”
His work is damn amazing! He creates photographs through sound, as he says, “Sound gives an image just like light gives an image…My work is a byproduct of learning how to see again using sound.”
He’s truly an inspiration. Feel free to click on the photo to view more!

From you, my dear, or from us, from what it is that makes us hate and love and drink, from this intensity of “clean” fidelity, as you call it. I want to be actually unfaithful to you in feeling and imagination as well as physically, so that I can return to you free. Now I am your slave. I never make a move or commit an action without considering whether it will annoy you or not. I swear that the strongest sensation I experience when I look at another woman is to wonder what effect it will have on you. That’s why I get drunk so often. That’s why you get drunk so often. We get drunk to forget we belong to each other and when we are drunk we remember harder than ever. We waltz around and around like Japanese mice. ..I wonder I’ve got the nerve to leave you. If I stay here any longer I won’t have. I won’t have a bit of character left. I’ll just be a drunken jelly-fish swimming around my old ideal of you and polluting it. Yet, if I leave you, I’ll worry furiously..You really don’t know how jealous I can be.”

“It could be humanity’s oldest story of doomed love. Archaeologists have unearthed two skeletons from the Neolithic period locked in an eternal embrace and buried outside Mantua, Italy, just 25 miles south of Verona, the city where Shakespeare set the star-crossed tale of Romeo and Juliet.”

Recent photo of a little boy visiting the White House. He wanted to feel Obama’s hair because he wanted to know if the President’s hair felt just like his. Obama obliged. Priceless.
