Seeing Beyond Sight Photo Challenge by Mind Boggle
September 22nd, 2007 4:59 PMFor this task, I took a whole lot of photos. And these were a few lucky ones that turned out surprisingly good.
Muni

This was one of the first fews shots I took after embodying the essense of a blind photographer. There was so much noise around me, but the bus that pulled up across the street was the sound that overpowered everything else at the moment.
Bypasser

I was standing still on the corner of a sidewalk trying to get myself into the mindset of a blind person. I was taking random pictures all around me just to familiarize myself with my surrounding sounds. Then, a man who just finished crossing the street decided to pose for a brief second and put himself in my picture. I did not realize he did this until afterwards.
Taxi

I was once again waiting to cross the street and I heard a car making a turn around the corner.
Alleyway Mural

I heard the sound of someone coming down the alleyway but I only managed to get the picture of the graffiti piece on the wall of the alley.
Cafe

The most wonderful sweet smell of baked goods and coffee was coming from this cafe. This picture is worthess without the sense of smell that accompanies it. I've learned to see with my nose.
Walk

After crossing numerous streets, I realized that a large group of people make a distinct noise right before they cross the street. It's a combination of the sound of shoes hitting the pavement right after stepping off the curb and the sound murmuring voices that make this unique crowd movement sound.
Rain?

I swear I felt a drop of rain fall on the side of my head. I know it looks sunny out, but it's San Francisco weather. As I took the bus home after my shoot, it began to rain pretty hard despite the sun still glowing bright orange.

Haight St is no place to have your senses impaired! I like IKEA/Wasteland
Excellent documentation of responding to your non-visual senses!
My favorite is the Taxi one. And maybe the Green Light one too. Nice pictures! I think I'm afraid of this task because you have to be blindfolded.
