You know, I often think that if I lose my sight (I have 20/60 vision as it is but i wear contact lenses) I would just die. All of my passions involve deeply using my eyes; not to mention my job.

Those are some very meaningful and momentous pictures..my only qualm in making them, as a blind photographer, would be the misery I would feel that I couldn't see my own shots

She is a famous British musician - who is profoundly deaf! See here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evelyn_Glennie)

This has a deep philosophical meaning. Imagine not being able to see your own photographs, your own work. The only feedback you have comes from other people. Admitedly, this is how commercial artists operate ;) but for any honest artist that follows his/her own path, this would be ... well, unthinkable. How do they do it? I guess they only listen to a very reduced number of people ... A mystery indeed.
