How The Blind Take Photos

080703-TODAY-How The Blind Take Photos

The news header caught my immediate attention as i was doing my usual news header "surfing" of a newspaper yesterday.

The Blind... taking photos? Hmmm...

Blessed with the gift of sight, i guess i will never be able to fully comprehend the blind world, not to mention how a blind can actually take photos with a camera.

As i read the news story, i was touched by the effort of Mr. Hiroshi Suga (an award winning Japanese photographer) and how the blind students developed their own methods to overcome their disabilities. i can imagine the many possible doubts, rejections, scepticism or maybe even cynicism when this whole thing first take root.

"Eyes of the Heart"... these kids have it and its time i start to discover my own eyes within my heart. So often we see with our eyes but not with our hearts, speak with our mouths but not with our hearts and hear with our ears but not with our hearts.

Gotta use my eyes of my heart the next time i shoot... join me :)
