Blind Photography

EASTMAN KODAK Z740 ZOOM DIGITAL CAMERA 6.3mm 1/8th F2.8 ISO140

Under the circumstances, I don't think it is that bad at all. Has better DOF control then many of those who can actually see!

You nailed it. It is funny you mention this, in a thread here it was asked "What would make you stop photography?" my response was death or blindness, but blindness is negotiable. I was not being tongue in cheek, as I figured that other senses kick in and perhaps enough to compensate and still enable me to do something I love to do.

It seems that I was correct, you're an inspiration to many, I'm sure.

Some assembly required, your mileage may vary, no pixels were harmed in the writing of this post. Brain cells, though, are a different matter. You want fries with that?

reply to alphapointe
That's amazing. Here is a youtube video on some awesome new technology for the blind. Seeing with your tongue!

This is off-subject, but I have been trying to get someone who is totally blind to be able to browse the internet, do e-mail, Word, etc. The person I'm working with originally was sighted but lost his eyesight from diabetes.

How is your experience working with JAWS? Did you find it easy to learn?

Thanks,

Timm

In New York City, there is a club for just blind photographers. they had a whole demonstration about it at the Met a few months ago.. Very cool stuff.

under the circumstances I think you did very well with your pic

reply to alphapointe
Very cool - post more!

reply to alphapointe
What I find fascinating is that it is a shot of something with a LOT of texture, details, etc. Do you find that those tend to be your subjects? I can see that happening because you use your hands to "see": a sighted photographer might be attracted by color or composition, while interesting texture is bound to engage you more. What do you think?

Excellent, interesting shot. Kudos.

Its not a bug.. Its a "feature"

reply to alphapointe
Wow! Talk about inspirational and impressive at the same time! I have deteriorating vision though nothing close to being totally blind. I'm very curious as to know how you compose images if you can't see them. What sort of techniques do you use? I am very impressed you have not allowed this to impede your photography, whether it be a a hobby or other wise.

Actually, I think you might have an advantage over the rest of us - you probably "feel" more than we do! I think the more you get into this, the emotion you feel in your photos will go so much deeper than the rest of us! I think you ought to take your story and portfolio and take it to your local newspaper - I think they would find it just as amazing as we have. I can't wait to see more of your work.

you know...my grandmother was an artist (painted with oil) and eventually lost her eyesight. She regrettably quit painting after many years of squinting! But looking at your work - I wished she would have just closed her eyes and painted with her heart and soul. It probably would have been her best work ever!!!!

Thanks for sharing your photo and story. I found it very touching.
