[stylist] Blindness and photography

[Shelley J. Alongi]

This is very very cool. A lot of times good photographs have to do with the 
light and its affects on surroundings and if a blind person can get a sense 
of how light reacts to surroundings and pick up clues I am sure it can be 
done. I have done many presentations not necerssarily for writings in which 
photography was a part of the picture. If you read fashion or home 
decorating magazines at all you'll notice a great emphasis on different 
kinds of light. It's all very logical and interesting. This works into 
photographs. I've always been one to leave the photographing to others as I 
have my hands very full at any given moment but as a blind person I've never 
left it out of my work. It is part of what makes experiences for all kinds 
of people enjoyable. Go for it!
