We are a group of blind photographers. All of us have to contend with various degrees of visual impairment. If you look around on the internet, it seems there are other blind photographers and so a number of them was bound to use flickr to share photographs. The “blind photographers” flickr group was created to offer a venue for discussion, to share our individual and joint vision, to admire each other’s photographs, bug members with technical question, and generally, to hang out and enjoy each other’s company. This worked so well, that we now have a membership of 130 photographers and have branched out to other spaces on the internet: facebook, twitter, the old “best of blind photographers” blog, which has now incarnated in this dedicated wordpress blog. As we value discussion and photography both, we decided to maintain two blogs: a curated photoblog as a showcase for work by blind photographers, and this blog, as a venue for blind photographers to discuss, to share and to rant (occasionally).
So, please feel free to be part of our community, join us on flickr, find us on facebook, show your work and share its story with us. We plan on porting the discussions we are having on flickr regarding technique and philosophy to this blog too, in a series of “blindsighted” articles, while we hope that blind photographers everywhere will include their profiles on this blog and their work on our photoblog.
