Steve Erra and the Seeing with Photography Collective,
Braille Portrait as Antique
Erra comments: "(We) talk all the time about how most people don't really see. They don't pay attention visually to things...I only see parts of things at a time, very small areas at one time. These pictures that we're taking now concentrate on one area at a time. A sharpness, a blurriness...your eyes are always going from one to the other, which is how I view the world, too."
