The Blind Photographer: What Does He See?
http://bit.ly/1qY6n2j
There is no stopping a passionate person irrespective of whether they have a
disability or not.
Brenden Borrellini was born with complete deafness and a sight impairment
that gradually got worse, and developed into complete blindness by the age
of 7. Growing up for him was frustrating, and he depended a lot on his
family and teachers which slowly helped him understand the world around him.
Thanks to his zeal to learn and inquisitiveness, he learned finger spelling
and other skills to improve his communication.
One day he picked up a camera and started clicking pictures. Initially it
was all a joke about a blind person taking photos, but soon enough, with
assistance from others, his curiosity towards the camera and photography
became a full fledged hobby. To make things easier for him, he is explained
objectives in detail as to what photos he should be taking. He is explained
the surroundings in great detail, and then given technical feedback as well
after the photos are taken. He can feel the controls on the back of the
camera, and he can sense the lens moving when he is focussing, but he still
needs some help from the subject to get a good picture.
Clicking photographs is fine, but what does Brenden really see?
This is where creativity plays a great role. Brenden's two dimensional
photos are converted to three dimensional prints so he is able to interpret
the various textures and recognize various elements of the image.
Visit the link below and watch the short movie about Brenden to understand
the process he goes through to take and "see" photos, and the wonderful
support system he has. Creativity and willingness to pursue a hobby knows
You will be taken to a page where there is a "play button" that will start
the movie.

without the Life there is no living."
