Abelardo Morell At the Window: The Photographer's View

The Cuban-born photographer Abelardo Morell is best known for his photographic work using the technique known as camera obscura. This technique actually pre-dates contemporary photography and was used by the ancient Greeks and Romans as well as Leonardo. Camera obscura involves the use of "light passing through a pinhole into a dark room" which will "project and transpose an image of whatever lies outside" (Di Pero 2013).

For example, in one of his series entitled 'four seasons,' images of New York such as Central Park and Manhattan Bridge are seen transposed upon a hotel room or a door (Di Pero 2013). These images of the sprawling outdoors are rendered confined and intimate -- the image and view of the outdoors is taken inside. Yet simultaneously, by doing so the indoor image is rendered more expansive and sweeping, as the normally cloistered confines of the drawing room are transformed by the imposition of Manhattan. In one black-and-white camera obscura entitled Manhattan View Looking South in Large Room, 1996, the entirety of…

Mainstreaming People who have severe disabilities have lived under centuries of legalized reliance and exclusion. With every law that showed the liberalizing of society's commitment to disabled people has come the realization by disabled people that prejudice in the community didn't really end.
