Thanks Lisa,

I love art of all kinds.  While I can no longer see the visual aspects,
sculptures (my mother set up the touch tour at the Hershhorn at the
Smithsonian before she retired), music, literature, textual presentations,,
performances, drama and most everything else.  I struggle with dance without
being able to see.  This makes me sad as I used to love the ballet in New
York and Boston as well as Alvin, Twyla, Harlem and so many others.  I can't
imagine how dance could be represented to a blind person though.

Have fun,
cdh

HI Chris,
Your  blog looks really interesting.

You certainly didn't go off topic about the who, what and how many dollars.
Those are pretty important elements and effect what gets made, if they get
made etc.
Lack of money is probably a pretty good reason why development of
accessible images is rather slow. 
Affects training of those who make, those who use,  effects the price of 
tools, availablity of tools etc etc.

So flow on. Also enjoy your disscussions on art.

Best,
Lisa
