Seeing Beyond Sight Photo Challenge by The Groove

March 5th, 2012 5:35 PM

INSTRUCTIONS: Seeing Beyond Sight has partnered with SFZero to challenge you to see the world differently - with more than your eyes.

Welcome new users: SFZero is an ongoing game in which you can choose to participate (or not) after you do the Seeing Beyond Sight Challenge.

Click here for new user registration.

1. Blindfold yourself.
(wear shades or tape your eyes shut)

2. Go out in public and make your way in the world.
(go 1 block, 1 hour or 1 roll of film; go with a friend or alone; make up your own process)

3. Photograph things you notice. And, just notice.
(What do you notice differently about objects, people, actions, interactions?)

4. Embrace the whole experience as much as the picture taking.
(Engage. Have a conversation with people you encounter. Take it all in.)

5. Share your story.
(For each photograph write a caption about your experience - a few lines or several paragraphs if you want.)

6. Challenge some friends to do it.
(email them the link: sf0.org/seeingbeyondsight)

Please don't post all the pictures from your shoot, but chose 1 to 3 that are the best images or are most telling of your experience. Caption the photos describing something about your experience - that is as important as the image itself. Longer stories are welcomed and may be added to www.seeingbeyondsight.org.

If you depend on your eyes to get around, then it is hard not to use them. Although you can tell us about how difficult it is to be blind, focus more on what you noticed about the world as you embarked on this journey.

This experience isn’t about blindness – it is about seeing, noticing and paying attention with more than your eyes.

This challenge was inspired by SEEING BEYOND SIGHT: PHOTOGRAPHY BY BLIND TEENAGERS, a new book published by Chronicle Books.

Alrighty! I'm ready to go scare a couple of people. I'm quite nervous about the response I'm going to get when I randomly walk up to a crowd of people in the computer lab and attempt to engage in conversation. Lets see how it goes!!

So this attempt did not go as planned. I engaged in conversation only to open my eyes and see that she was completely ignoring me. I think she turned her music on full blast!! How embarrassing!

So this attempt would've been a little more fun If I hadn't of got slapped! I attempted to engage in conversation not knowing that I was closer than I thought I was. The end result was a slap in the face and she left. The funny thing is the people around me did not budge. They all just kept working on their perspective projects...College Life!

Well done, that would have taken some guts. Would have liked to see more pictures though, seems like you only just started.
