The National Disabled Veterans TEE Tournament is the brainchild of several employees of the Iowa City VA Medical Center, along with two visually impaired Iowa Veterans. These visionaries created the TEE Tournament, an acronym standing for TRAINING, EXPOSURE and EXPERIENCE. In 2008, it became one of six VA national rehabilitation programs for Veterans. The event expanded to include not only blind Veterans, but amputees, wheelchairbound Veterans, and those with other life changing disabilities. It takes place each year in Iowa City.
Remember our visually-impaired kittens Ziff & Zaff? Meet their mom, Tina! She was rounded up by the tireless @sassee_badass_tnr who got her spayed, vaccinated and tested. When she realized Tina was friendly we moved her into our bathroom for safekeeping. She enjoys the elegance of our scalloped cultured marble sink (ie resin plastic) but would love a full-featured home even better! She's about 1 year old, small and sweet and very appreciative of chin skritches! Let us know if you're interested in giving her a new life. Everything plus the kitchen sink! #sinkcat #catsofbrownsville #adoptthiscat #tabbycat #streetcatnomore via Instagram instagr.am/p/CH3C5LHJ2Dc/
A visually stunning decorative map of Asia dating to 1852, by French map publisher Victor Levasseur. Covers the entire continent of Asia as well as parts adjacent parts Europe and Africa. Shows the Chinese Empire including Tibet and Mongolia. In Southeast Asia the Kingdoms of Annam, Chochine, Tonkin, Siam, and Burma are noted. Singapore is identified. Afghanistan is divided into the Kingdom of Kaboul, the Kingdom of Heral, and the Confederation of Belouchistan. Several islands in the Russian Arctic, including Nova Zembla and the New Siberia Islands are mapped vaguely. Curiously, Levasseur identifies one of the Japanese Kuril Islands as the land of Compagnie, a semi-mythical island sought by many early explorers of this region including Behring and Cook. By far this map's most striking feature is its elaborate allegorical border work. Levasseur composed this map for publication in his magnificent Atlas Nacionale de la France Illustree , one of the most decorative and beautifully produced atlases to appear in the 19th century. This particular map is surrounded on all sides with elaborate allegorical border work. Surrounding the map are ten medallions intended to represent life in Asia - though most of the these seem to focus on India, at the time the most known of Asian lands. To the left of the map proper is an enthroned woman, a most likely representation of Hesione, the wife of Prometheus, who is commonly associated with Asia. Curiously the figure holds a main de justice , a kind of scepter with a hand of benediction on top, it her right hand. The main de justice was initially a symbol of royal French power and in this case is a possible reference to the French claims to Indochina. Right of the map Adam and Eve are drawn relaxing in Eden, with a benevolent God figure looking on. As with most Levasseur depictions of god, his halo is pyramidal, a possibly Masonic reference. Levassuer's choice to add Adam and Eve to this map is a reference to mediaeval beliefs that Eden lay in the seas beyond Asia. Various exotic animals including a bear, a buffalo, an rhino, a tiger, and an crocodile appear at the bottom of the map. Publised by V. Levasseur in the 1852 edition of his Atlas National de la France Illustree.

Portraits of Hope's massive public art and civic project – involving more than 20,000 kids, adults and volunteers – that visually transformed Manhattan. By recruiting and utilizing more than 5,400 fully operational NYC taxis to participate in the unprecedented 4-month exhibition, the cabs and city streets of New York were transformed into a giant mobile canvas. The unprecedented event integrated two key characteristics that define the City: the saturation of the iconic taxis; and the vertical physicality of Manhattan. www.portraitsofhope.org

The former Press Building. This twelve-story limestone and brick building visually dominates the streetscape. Built in 1904, this structure is an exceptionally rich example of the Beaux-Arts commercial architecture of the period, with a detailed elaborate display of Victorian exuberance. The building, designed by architect T. I. Lacey, was originally built for Willis Kilmer's, Binghamton Press newspaper. The newspaper would spend a great many years in this building before relocating in 1964. After some interior changes the building would then become home to a music store and two night clubs. After sitting vacant for several years and showing signs of past abuse and neglect, the building had extensive renovations and in the later part of 2007 and was turned into an office building and renamed Professional Tower. In 2010 the building was heavily damaged by a nearby fire and shut down. There are plans to convert the building into a residential tower. Located at 19 Chenango Street in Binghamton, NY. (B/167)
The Drums of Africa is a visually expressed personal guidance system. Our ancestors have documented the lessons of life into profound proverbs that can be easily remembered and referred to in our approach to everyday life. The series
displays these proverbs as typographic compositions combined with tribal forms found in South Africa’s folk
arts and crafts. In fact, symbolic elements from the intricate beadwork of the Bantu-speaking tribes, the refined basketry of the Zulu, and the highly coloured, bold, geometric forms of the Ndebele, ordain the fragile hand-drawn Helvetica typeface.
The result is a combination of contemporary type,
decorated with traditional silhouettes. Upholding the lessons and motivations of African culture, the compositions serve as daily affirmations and motivations.
The original oil paintings are on display at Kozi’s : Meet ’n Eat, an African inspired restaurant in Athens, Greece. A limited edition of signed prints have been created to accompany the work and are also available online at www.dimitratzanos.com
There's nothing particularly visually interesting about this hotel in Philadelphia. However, I had a interesting stay here over a bitterly cold Presidents Day weekend in 1996.
A few months earlier I had great stay at a boutique hotel in San Francisco. It was the first time I had stayed at a boutique hotel so I made a reservation at this place, which I think was called the Walnut Street Hotel, because it advertised itself as a "boutique" hotel.
An indifferent college student checked me in at the front desk and I headed to my room. I dropped my luggage off and went out for dinner. When I came back I noticed that it was kind of chilly in the room. At the time I had a little thermometer zipper pull on my suitcase and it was not only kind of chilly it was all of 54 degrees.
I went downstairs to complain to the indifferent college student. He remained indifferent, saying the heat was not working and wouldn't be fixed until the next day.
He did give me an extra blanket though. The extra blanket was the most threadbare blanket I'd ever seen. I put it on my bed, along with all the towels and my parka and, wearing my clothes, I managed to sleep most of the night.
I spent the next day working at the convention center. When I got back to my room that evening it was no longer 54 degrees. Quite the opposite as it was 94 degrees! Opening a window made the room livable and I didn't dare complain for fear that they would turn the heat off.
In addition to the heat and cold problem there was the bathroom, specifically the toilet. The toilet was set off from the shower in this little alcove. The alcove was narrow and wedge-shaped. It was so narrow that my shoulders touched the walls when I sat down and to sit down I literally had to take my pants off beforehand and back into the space. TMI!
To end this story on a good note the hotel television had a Drexel University cable channel that was showing some pretty obscure stuff. One movie was "My New Advisor" by a guy named Jim Bihari, who was an Ohio State University student at the time. It is a feature length movie made for a few thousand dollars about a graduate student and his new advisor going to a conference, mainly by driving back and forth on rural central Ohio roads. It was really funny and had a great soundtrack. I haven't seen it since that stay but I just noticed the whole thing is on YouTube.

Long distance traveling can sometimes be boring...
All you need to do is point the camera at the side of the road & the magic happens...
This is a long exposure motion blurred on purpose photograph that creates the feeling of movement within a still image.
The photo tries to represent the experience of motion itself.
It 'stretches the moment' both literally (in the camera shutter is held open) and visually (as the details of the subject blur out horizontally).
(This is a long exposure photo of the side of the railroad while traveling at speed. ;-) )

Usually, bright colors that seem unsafe for display on the Web are abrasive to the point of causing an eye sore. However, this page from Jamie Smith (known by his stage name, Jamie xx), of The xx, that uses SoundCloud Premiere to promote his first solo single, is visually stunning.

I visually facilitated a conversation with Jill Foster to help her think about her goals for her upcoming reporting gig from the Democratic National Convention and the logistics she will need to take care of to reach those goals. Jill Foster will be reporting from the Democratic National Convention in Denver via her cell phone for Utterz.com. Utterz allows users to publish audio, video, text, and photos to the web with the push of a button. This is going to be once in a lifetime opportunity for Jill, so she wants to make the most of it. Here is what Jill says about the experience of engaging in a visually facilitated project planning session.

22-year-old Azer Ćatović was born in Mostar, and has been living here for 14 years. Azer grew up with a sight defect, but by secondary school, he had become fully independent thanks to his education.
As he awaits the start of the second academic year, he spends his summer break doing running training sessions, reading, and taking walks. He does most of his running sessions on a treadmill in the fitness hall of the Center for Blind and Visually Impaired Children and Youth.
The centre was recently renovated by UNDP and offers full time support in learning and other skills like mobility, self-care, and sight exercises for the visually impaired, use of teaching aids, playing games, going out to town and attending events.

Italian postcard by Turismofoto, no. 63.
Voluptuous, visually stunning Italian film actress Eleonora Rossi Drago (1925–2007) played princesses and temptresses throughout Italian cinema of the 1950s and 1960s. She never found the international cross-over fame destined for Sophia Loren and Gina Lollobrigida, but she earned respect as a fine actress playing leading roles in films by famous directors like Michelangelo Antonioni, Luigi Comencini, and Valerio Zurlini.

A visually appealing course - rich vibrant colours with safe flavour pairings. The cheeries were globes of unctuous deep flavours and absolutelly stunning. The duck, rather light given the rich flavours and textures I would have expected from such a game bird (this could be my own fault of being too used to the glorious deep flavours and meaty texture from smoked duck). The radish bed, refreshing against the flavourful jus, while the spongy steamed bun wrapped around a loose shredded duck (confit? A tad on the drier side) was a great juxtaposition against crisp rich walnuts.
The course was paried with the Sonoma Cutrer "Russian River Valley" Pinot Noir, California. From a small winery, with this particular wine listing at # 8 on last year's wine spectator list, and something the sommolier/wine director of the evening had to import himself across the boarder. Very nice, full of dark cherry notes and licorice. Great for the course.
"During Chris' previous visit to James Beard House in 2006, the duck dish he served proved to be the most popular of the evening. This year, Chris will be serving duck again, but in a different style. Star anise flavour and a Korean-style steam bun wrap highlight the dish. The Asian influence is complimented by Lapin cherries from Kelowna, B.C., which were canned by Chris this past summer."

What colour is this packet of polymer clay?
There is more than one way to experience colours. One way is to see them. The other way is to feel them. Blind and visually impaired people like to do arts and crafts, too. Beading, polymer clay, knitting, origami and other things all involve colours. Combining the right colours of beads or wool, choosing the right colour of paper or polymer clay is still important even if you can't see. Braille labels can solve this problem very elegantly. Posting a sticker with the description of the colour on a box of beads or on a packet of polymer clay is a great way to feel the colours of the contents.
To answer the question I asked at the beginning: The Braille label on this packet of polymer clay tells me that the colour of the clay is "lemon yellow".

This was a design for a hosting company called Hostcube. I wanted to create something a bit more edgy, polished, and more graphically heavy.
I made use of subtle gradient and lighting effects to give the design more depth. I've also paid attention to small details when creating the background patterns, headers, iconography, and overall content area treatments. On top of that, I've also come up with the concept for the logo, which then I dissected into smaller pieces to visually represent the VPS nodes used in this type of hosting service. The client requested 2 comps, and they were complete opposites, as you can see by viewing the second version here.

Visually, the Type G van is very similar to the Type H.
The radiator grill is adummy, because the nose contained only the controls - and the ocupants feet !
By contrast the mechanical components were very different. The engine was effectively under the cab floor.
