Hi,
Forwarding email from Partho Bhowmick about a new workshop:
After pioneering combining the concepts of blindness and photography for last 4 years, early this year Blind With Camera has launched yet another innovative initiative - Blindfold Photo Workshop for the sighted people.  These workshops are conducted by trained blind photographers, demonstrating a reversal of role, challenging common perceptions and inspiring social change.

 Blindfold photo workshop along with multi sensory workshop (simulation of blindness) is offered to corporate and B-schools as part of their leadership, team building and human development programs. It will generate revenue and provide income / livelihood to the visually impaired trainers & guides.
