Lacking sight, not vision.

Landscapes of the Body
A body positive, inclusive and thought -provoking collection of black and white abstract images celebrating diversity in body type age. ethnic background, gender and physical ability. Read the whole story about this project.
This collection, like all of Ted’s work is presented with an eye toward accessibility featuring tactile prints and full audio descriptions alongside the traditionally printed and framed photographs.
Rocky Mountain National Park Artist In Residence
I’m honored to share that I’ve been selected as one of the 2026 Artists-in-Residence for Rocky Mountain National Park. During my August residency, I’ll be creating new work inspired by the park through photography and 3D tactile prints, and I’ll also be leading both an interactive public experience and a lecture in the park. I’m deeply grateful for the opportunity and excited to share more about this work, and about experiencing the landscape beyond sight, in the months ahead.
Landscape Photography
While I am best known for my abstract explorations of the human form, landscape imagery has long been a passion.
Our Accessible Journey
What if you could touch a sunset? We have bridged the gap between pixels and touch. Our process extracts the light and texture from and image then creates a multilayered tactile print using 3d printers.
“Light makes photography. Embrace light. Admire it. Love it. But above all, know light. Know it for all you are worth, and you will know the key to photography.”
— George Eastman
