[Blindtlk] Doing Videos as a Blind Person

[Mike Freeman]

Seems to me that wearing sunglasses would produce unwanted glare in the videos.

Subject: [Blindtlk] Doing Videos as a Blind Person

Hi everyone,

I’d like to ask a sort of odd question. I like to do videos on Youtube for my website. Everyone seems to enjoy them, as far as I can tell. But yesterday, a friend I recently met suggested to wear sunglasses. He said it might be odd for people to see my eyes, since they aren’t focused. I have no vision at all, and I can’t control my eyes.

I don’t know what I think of this. No one else has said they were bothered by it. And I don’t want to appear as though I am ashamed of my blindness. I’d like to see what others would say.

And this friend means well, even if it seems a bit rude. I just want to see how others handle doing videos, who are in a similar situation.

Thanks,
Brandon
