That is not unusual. I am the same way. I had eyesight until age 35 so I 
haven't been totally blind that long I lost it heygradually and when I do my 
beadwork, I still see all the colors as if I could actually see them. 
Unfortunately, my parents who are both blind took very few pictures. When I 
had 20/200 I had one of those disk cameras and I even though I could see, I 
like the auto focus especially for action shots. In college, I had to take 
some professional photographs for a documentary projectt in my mixed media 
classes. So, I got to try the stuff that the professionals use. I used a 
measuring method similar to the one cindy used to take the pictures. I could 
have gotten someone sighted to do it, but I'm glad for the experience. Back 
then I had enough sight to focus the camera a little bit, but have never 
used this method being totally blind.
