Matt Wilkerson by Jasmine Grimm, Editor-in-chief, Connections magazine
Spotted on Twitter, Connections magazine, published by Nxtbook Media for Pennsylvania’s Lancaster Chamber of Commerce & Industry, published a story on a local blind photographer last February. The article, Blind Photographer Has an Eye for Business, features Matt Wilkerson, owner of Coe Camera Shop. Wilkerson, who inherited his photography store from his father, has retinosa pigmentosa, a degenerative eye condition. The online story is in Adobe Flash, so I can not speak for its accessibility. However, they have a interesting feature that mimics tunnel vision so readers can get a feeling for Wilkerson’s sight.
Tim O’Brien is a regular columnist on Blind Photographers. Legally blind, Tim writes about accessibility, photography and, occasionally, both together. You can find out more about Tim on his blog or by following him on twitter.
