Interview with Drew Bedo Channel 13 KTRK

[Drew Bedo]

One of my Images was selected for The Houston Center for Photography Member’s Exhibition this year. I have submitted to this event several times in years past. It is not an event organized to showcase the work of artists with a disability or visually impaired photographers.
Inclusion in the HCP Member’s Exhibition is significant for me because it is an open call for a juried event at a main-stream gallery that is respected in the Houston art community. My images were judged without reference to my condition: I am legally blind.

Kim Morgan of The Houston Chronicle interviewed me for a story on the show. The link to the online version: Legal blindness doesn't stop photographer | Ultimate Fort Bend

When the story came out in print I got a call from channel 13, KTRK here in Houston. On Monday they interviewed me on camera at the HCP gallery for broad cast that night. The link to the video: Blind photographer's work on display at show | Video | abc13.com

The interviewer, Adela Uchida, was nice to me. The cameraman knew what I was doing and worked to get angles that would show the process. A good experience.

I saw this over at the LF forum, that's really great congratulations. I need to get down and see the HCP exhibit.

Drew,
You have worked hard and deserve this accolade as much as anyone I have ever known. I am like so many photographers that have nothing to use as an excuse for not capturing images for my personal work, but I don’t, I just make up excuses for not shooting for myself. So when I see your work it is my inspiration and a driving force in my photography.
Love ya man,
Wayne
