Carolyn;
I surely understand where you are coming from, since you could see
before.  What I am trying to find out is how a total can take a picture
and be able to enjoy it with out anothers description of its beauty.  My
friend was taking pictures at National, so does that mean someone will
have to describe each one to her.  They would for me if I did not make a
note of what I took, on the spot.  That is why I thought of making notes
on the stream for future reference when naming or describing my pictures
on the computer.  How about that!  Two tiny devices to work together!

terry,
i believe most folks would be curious as to how a totally blind person
could enjoy pictures. in my case, i was sighted until in my teens. at
that time, my eyes stopped seeing but my visual brain never did.
i don't see black but pictures of everything i hear. for example, i
imagine that i see the computer in front of me, the room with the
furniture i'm sitting in and the doors and rooms off of this one.
i still dream in full color and pictures too. my husband will tell you
that out of anyone in our family, i am the one always wanting a photo
taken of someone.

HTH,
carolyn
