Seeing Beyond Sight Photo Challenge by Ohrlyeh Totenkinder
May 18th, 2007 6:34 PMI paired up with lowteck who had already done the task himself, but I beleive may have shown up for no other reason than to shake my hand for a ridiculasly uncomfortable long amount of time.
We started out rather lost not knowing where to go or what to do with ourselves. Thankfully we both fell upon the notion to hit a bar. GOOD IDEA! We went into what LT described to me as a "fancy hotel" and got ourselves some drinks.
The bartender asked if we were medical students. Aparently students from a school in the area come in all the time with a myriad of prostetic impedimebts to become empothetic as to the state in which the handicaped or elderly live.
Drinks finnished, I enlisted direction from LT in paying the check and we headed deeper into the hotel. Lowteck suggested that he teach me to play piano, so I stubled up and down short flights of stairs avoiding the afluent insearch of an instrument. We finnaly found one but it was ocupied by someone LT described as "offical looking" so we abandoned the idea and headed back out into the street.
I'm not entirely sure how it happened but we found our way into a mall.
"hey, lets go to the top of the mall!"
It seemed adventurious enough blind folded; scaling the summit of comercialism. yay!
About half way up we sparked the interest of a couple of highschool girls who would not only stick with us for the remainder of both my and Lowtecks blindfolded experience, but return to RX and don the blindfolds themselves to participate in the challenge themselves. impromptu gamers rock!
at some point LT found a red baloon to attach to the blindfold as either a warning to others or just to make the blindfoldee look more ridiculious. I have a suspicion that it had more to do with the latter
The following pictures cronical our 4 adventures in chronological order using two cameras.
After my camera ran out of space LT took the baloonfold
have to say, that I was not nearly as good of a leader as he was. although he did run me into potted plants occasionaly, he never lost me or alowed me to stumble somewhere dangerous. I kept forgetting that even though I had stoped to think or look arroun, he had no idea what i was doing and would continue to wander off. .....at times into walls, or angry drunken men at bus stops. We were about half a block away when we heard yelling comming from behind us. I spouted an "oh shit!" as I turned around to see LT cringing as an elderly man about half his height was jabbing a gnarled finger at his head and screaming about sense and manners. I mixed my apologies in eaquil amounts to both LT and the man he ran up on as I lead a still shrunken Lowteck off.
after reviewing the pics i found that LT had an amazing natural tallent for blind portraiture. where as my pictures of "not people" were better.
review and tell me what you think!

blindfolded drinking is awesome!
this picture is the best:
the old lady that threatened to break your camera kinda looks like a man
That was me right after LT put the baloon on my head. it was a grudging acceptence of looking stupid with a baloon on my head.
Eating blind is harder than it sounds!

Did I read the task "Impersonate another player" and then think I came up with it and then forgot to submit it?
urubin thinks you are weak for not getting her number.
That are a lot of photos indeed.
