[stylist] Blindness and photography

[Donna Hill]

Shelley,
When I was taking pictures, the light/shadow experience was a huge deal 
for my nature shots especially. Still, I don't think sight is necessary 
in all cases. Glad to hear you include photos. We're not all cut out to 
take them, but it's important to realize the profound impact they can 
have on sighted people. We need every tool we can find.
