Lighting the WayBy Bien, Alexei ; Edutopia , Publication Date:
July 2007 Article focuses on Sound Shadows, which is an
experimental photography program for students with visual
disabilities at Governor Morehead School for the Blind. The
project was conducted from 1992 to 1997, while a book titled
“Seeing Beyond Sight” chronicles the experience of 36 students
ages 12 to 19. The students learned how to point and shoot, and
they were also taught to use a camera to recreate dreams and to
express personal vision. They used autofocus cameras, which
allowed them to use sound and touch as a way to compose their
images. The book features roughly 150 images from the Sound
Shadows program, along with captions from the student
photographers. Published by: George Lucas Educational Foundation
