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). Morell has adapted this technique to cotemporary photography. He dates his fascination with the method to the birth of his son, in after which he became inspired to look at the world with the eyes of a child and desired to take a more domestic view of life. "I started making photographs as if I were a child myself. This strategy got me to look at things around me more closely, more slowly, and from vantage points I hadn't considered before" ("Getty exhibition...

This notion of 'looking' and transposition of images is at the heart of the exhibit The Window: The Photographer's View. 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.

Census Bureau in the United States, there are about 54 million Americans that have some sort of disability. Out of these persons, 26 million persons have a severe disability. While employment rates are concerned, it should be seen that 82% of the people in America without a disability have a job or some sort of business. Keeping this in mind, it should be seen that the employment rate 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. This discrimination continued because oppressive changes were introduced to limit society's responsibility and the few progressive changes that were introduced were never supported financially. It has become evident
