Mark Mathew Braunstein

Mark Mathew Braunstein became a T12 paraplegic from an unskillful dive in 1990. Lucky him, his injury and recovery were made into a short TV documentary (youtu.be/96EhHzN6RoI). After 30 years as an art librarian and art curator at Rhode Island School of Design and then at Connecticut College, he retired to contemplate his navel as well as other people’s art and literature. A frequently published photographer, he is shown here photographing the ramp at Vermont Studio Center. You can view his nature photography and read his eight previous articles for New Mobility at MarkBraunstein.org
