I live with and have the privileged of photographing with, an extraordinary man who is not quite legally blind (although color blind) at the moment but he will very likely be at some point in the next 10 years. At times I help him with some of the finer points in his editing that he just can't discern but for the most part he does it himself. But it his ability to capture human emotion in faces and bodies out on the street and on the stage that is so special. He feels it is because he only really sees shapes and not details, he is drawn to the light that is reflected. http://www.markkitaoka.com/ I came here via the NY Times blog Lens.

An ability to sculpt with light is the most powerful tool in the photographer’s kit." I am surprised by how many photographers have yet to realize this. You are so right on when you say,
