A Legally Blind Photographer is Possible.

BY Tammy Ruggles. | 14-Jul-2015

For years I thought fine art photography was impossible because of a blinding disease known as RP. But in 2013 a point-and-shoot digital camera set on auto and a 47-inch computer screen changed that. Feel free to view my work at my DeviantArt site, friend me on Facebook, or Follow on Twitter. @tammyruggles1. #legallyblindphotographer #tammyruggles1

I shoot black and white because I see best in high contrast, and yes, the world is extremely blurry to me, but in the last 2 years I've been steadily taking pictures while I can.

My photos have been published in literary journals, art magazines, and photography publications around the world. I want others to see what is possible when you meet a challenge in a different way.

Internationally acclaimed sound designer and naturalist Douglas Quin [US] talks about his sound practice and what he’s up to in Australia.

Background: Quin’s practice includes soundscape compositions, public radio commentator and music composer . He is renowned for his groundbreaking work in Antarctica where he travelled to explore and document its varied, sonic environments – from seals communicating beneath sheets of ice to the shifting and cracking noise of the ice itself. A career highlight was creating the sound design for and mixing Werner Herzog's Academy Award–nominated documentary film about Antarctica, Encounters at the End of the World. Quin is currently in Australia as a Visiting Fellow at the UTAS. In July Quin will work alongside Philip Samartzis and lead Bogong Centre for Sound Culture’s 5 day winter masterclass, which runs from July 1 to 5, 2019 at Howmans Gap, Victoria. #bogongsound @bogongsound #douglasquin #philipsamartzis #howmansgap
