[Nfb-krafters-korner] Taking pictures as a blind person

[Courtney Fulghum Smith]

Hadley School for the Blind had a seminar on taking photos several. A lady
has written a book about this & I think it is on BARD. You can go to
Hadley.edu then go to the past seminars link & you should be able to to
find the recording there.

Hadley is a great resource for the blind.
