[Nfb-krafters-korner] Mid-week question - color?

[River Woman]

Mary, you are so right. No one cares! Color is so personal.
I do not see colors much at all any longer either. Most things are brownish 
or flat gray. But occasionally I can see brilliant blues. I do not see any 
nuances in colors at all.  Recently, I was talking with another potter and 
we were looking at her new work. She described the colors she was seeing her 
her glaze - pinks, yellows, etc.  I saw only a plain brown pot. I had no 
idea it had all those colors in it.

One thing I wonder about is this:  will my memory of color fade with time? I 
have only been blind for 3 years, and I see things with my third eye these 
days. I seldom think of myself as blind, but I plung on and most people have 
no idea I cannot see unless they are around me long enough to figure it out, 
or if they see me walk in with my cane. So, I wonder, will my visual memory 
fade, or will it stay as it is today? Right now, I have a photographic 
memory of things and colors. Does this change?
