When I work on audio-slide shows, I end up cutting interesting audio that I wish I could have included. They tend to be comments that are wise, which makes interviewing people so worthwhile for me personally, but that are unrelated to the story.

I'm happy to have finally figured out a way to share them. Starting with the story I did on the Laughter Fair organized by Latino Clown Brotherhood in Mexico City, I'll be taking unused audio and pairing it with a few portraits of the person speaking, creating short audio-slide show "portraits."

"Let me have your eyes" is about Leida Jimenez, clown "Merry Niko," who tells us about an interesting experience she had while performing for school children. Leida lives in Villahermosa, in the state of Tabasco in southern Mexico.

Sharing a group portrait of the last generation of blind and visually impaired photographers who attended the Sight of Emotion photography workshop.

I had the opportunity of joining this workshop and to see the capacity of the students to break the mental barrier that prevented them from making pictures. They are full of ideas and I have learned to perceive light with other senses apart from sight, which is fascinating. The next project I'm working on is to renew and organize their picture archive, sharing with them my experience with several photo agencies. In the future I'll share in this blog their impressive stock archive.

For those who have not seen it yet, I want to share an audio-slide show I made earlier this year about this workshop. To see the story enter this link: http://www.chicosanchez.com/thesightwithin/
