[NFB-Blind-Crafters] Pictures of projects

[Becky Frankeberger]

When I had my web site for my business, I posted pictures. If you want to
make a point, yes post your pictures and be proud you are blind. Give people
hope. 

 

My brother is struggling with his site drop. He is taking shots to stabilize
what he has left. He said I am his teacher.

I listened to the talk about test knitting on the Happy Knitting Summit
yesterday, and she talked a lot about how important it is for test knitters
to post pictures on social media, including Ravelry.  

I don't do that.  I don't have much confidence in my picture taking, so I'd
probably use AIRA to do it, and I haven't bothered.  And I'm not really into
social media, either.

Do other people take pictures of their projects and post them somewhere?  Is
it easier than I think, with no vision?  Is it really required for test
knitters to not only take pictures of the test project, but other projects
as well? 

It could be a good way to let people know there are blind knitters and
crocheters out there making beautiful things.  I just feel unsure about it.
But I'm not of the take-pictures-of-everything generations.

What do others do?

Tracy
