Taking photos blind?

I haven't, but that sounds pretty interesting.

I guess what I take away from this is, the human spirit can over come anything.
That one can express themselves through photography with no limitations.
I was amazed, but inspired at the same time.

I am gonna look for the documentary, have you found it available anywhere like netflex etc?

Here is a trialer I found: HBO: Documentaries: Watch Dark Light: The Art Of Blind Photographers videos including trailers, previews & clips on HBO.com.

No, actually I saw on T.V. (HBO). I am not sure where you can find it??
But it is very interesting to see people accomplish a skill where sight is so important.

I would really like to watch it, google doesn't give me any sources but it is a fairly new release, like last august.

Some years ago I used to work in a camera shop and there was a blind chap who regularly came in with films to be developed.

Have no idea who he did it, but he took some great photographs.

I once worked in a photo lab, they had some blind people working in the darkroom. Beginning in the dark for a whole shift did not bother them, plus they could work so much better with their hands in total darkness (it made no difference to them)??
But taking pictures, how do you know if your subject is in frame? I guess with Auto focus that would not be a problem??
I wonder if there are any members out there that are blind, or know someone that is blind that does this???
Love to hear from them on this subject .
