Hi picture describers!
My husband recently gave a presentation concerning access technology for
people who are blind or have low vision and discussed our experiences.
After the presentation, a student named Kathleen talked with Bruce and said
that she is interested in describing pictures. She is not a Bookshare
volunteer, but is presently describing children's art work that is
displayed in the university library or will be. Any tips on describing
pictures would help Kathleen do an excellent job. I'm thinking about what
decision must be made in determining what is important in a picture to
convey the meaning that will enhance the story, for example, since
describing every tiny detail might be too much, especially for younger
children, as well as any other thoughts you think would be beneficial. She
might already have questions.
Please email Kathleen directly rather than me, since this is her project.
Kathleen's e-mail address is: klonbom@xxxxxxxxx
Here is what my husband said in his email.
Thanks in advance for any advice you can give Kathleen.

Hi Deb:
I just finished meeting with Kathleen Lonbom, and it is OK for you to pass
her e-mail address on to the group of Bookshare volunteers directly
involved with providing descriptions for pictures/illustrations in
books. At present, she is focusing on children's artwork, but may be
branching out into other areas in the future.
Kathleen's e-mail address is: klonbom@xxxxxxxxx
Please let me know if I can provide any assistance.
Thanks for your help with this.
Love:<3
