Shows 11/17... Interview with Bruce Hall: http://www.mensjournal.com/shooting-blind "Bruce Hall has 20/400 vision, allowing him to make out just five percent of what a normally sighted person sees. Yet despite being legally blind, Hall became a certified scuba diver 30 years ago and has learned to take stunning underwater photographs. His work has appeared in National Geographic magazine, and the Library of Congress just bought three prints for their permanent collection."...

I've always wanted to give a blind person a camera and see what photos they shoot. Their interest in shooting a photo would be dependent on their other senses.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh? (0) | Off Topic (0) | Inappropriate (0) |   Definitions Ian L. Sitren, Photographer Palm Springs | CA | USA | Posted: 11:36 PM on 11.17.10 ->> There was an exhibit last year at the California Museum of Photography in Riverside of the work of blind photographers. It was very interesting and gives one much thought. Included were the works of Bruce Hall. Here is the website for Museum... http://www.cmp.ucr.edu/ Use the search site with the word "blind" and it will take you to a lot of information and the exhibit photos.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

He said he talked to him after and apparently he had tunnel vision and could see fine out of a camera but that's about it  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Before I had eye surgery I was 20/400 in both eyes. Luckily I had "healthy eyes", meaning no astigmatisms, and they were able to correct to 20/20. They actually do some amazing work. Very nice images. It is a nice documentary.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh? (0) | Off Topic (0) | Inappropriate (0) |   Definitions Add your comments...
