[Nfb-krafters-korner] pictures

[Powers, Terry (NIH/OD/DEAS) [E]]

Can you describe this more.  Is this for real pictures or digital?  How
does it work, a single card for the whole book?  
I think I a am going to like this new camera idea the best.  I can make
descriptions and see them on my new, to come, computer.

Everyone thought I was crazy when I wanted to give my brother and his
wife a photo album.  Both of them are totally blind and everyone figured
that they could not get any enjoyment out of it and it would just sit in
the closet.
But it turned out that it was a great gift.  The album allowed you to
record a message for each page.  So as people gave them pictures and
told them who or what was in it they could record a message on the page
where the photo was displayed.  This allowed them to know what was there
and then be able to add any additional comments when sharing the
pictures with family and friends.  I've always said that I was going to
do this for my self, but just haven't gotten to it.  Hmm, now they have
digital photo frames that you can add MP3 recording of short message.
I'm yet to see one of these as I'm guessing they are out of my price
range right now.

I believe you can get great enjoyment out of pictures even if you are
blind. 
 It is one of those things that you interact with the sighted  world.  
 
Someone here mentioned about the families sharing pictures and with the
others talking about what they see in a picture brings back your
memories of the events and you can take part in the conversations with
those sighted folks.
 
My son went to the Bahamas within a year of me going blind.  He  brought
his pictures of his vacation and left them in the car.  He later  took
them to my Mom's house to share them with her.  I heard about this a
few days later.
 
I contacted him and asked him next time he came for a visit if he would
please bring the pictures with him.  He did and we sat for a long time
with him describing the pictures and the good time he had going there.
Before he left that day he told me he thought about his trip and
realized that it did  not just include what he saw in the Bahamas, but
the sounds of the music, waves  and the taste of the foods and drinks
and the smells of the sea and culture of the island.  With his
descriptions of his photos I shared his experience of  a good time.
