MY KENTUCKY WEEKEND EXCURSION

Went down to the Galt House Hotel in Louisville this past weekend for the National Federation of the Blind's annual conference. Staying in a hotel with 3,000 blind people from all 50 states (as well as from Puerto Rico, Guam and 37 foreign countries)and being a sighted minority was a bit of a surreal experience to be honest. I was unable to interview Dr. Maurer, my original reason for going, but it was the 4th of July and I was able to catch fireworks and a free K.C and the Sunshine Band concert before coming home (see photo below). So I suppose the trip was still worthwhile!



Jean is still down there until July 9th and then she'll be back and busy with finishing touches at the salon before the grand opening (now scheduled for Saturday, July 30th). All are invited to come and check it out. I'll be there shooting. If you'd like more info and/or directions, just send me an email.

An interview I did recently with Diana Rooks about Persistence of Vision is now available online. Check it out if you'd like to learn a more about the film.
