I recently had the good fortune to accompany a blind gentlemen to the annual Federation of the Blind Conference in Dallas, Tx. I spent six and a half days with Tom and twenty-five hundred blind folks, attending General Session Meetings, riding elevators, grabbing meals at local Denny's. I came away from the experience with an appreciation for the strength, fortitude and 'dogged' perseverance of those living in the dark.

Good afternoon...this entry is a 'flare' in an effort to get my latest photos to my friends; thinking that you might not have seen it yet. FYI - cliking on photo renders slightly larger image, and feel free to travel back to previous

I made it a point, on Thursday to attend Conference on World Affairs on the University of Colorado Campus in Boulder; week long event, sponsored  by Boulder Camera, where I was able to meet  a NYC photog,  named  Rick Guidotti. Rick walked away from a successful career as fashion photographer to pursue his passion of finding and photographing children born with genetic aberrations ie. young victims of albinisim (albino). You can find Rick @ www.positveexposure.org, and if you googled him you'd be impressed with his philosophy, and notoriety/recognition. Best, Gary
