I can't agree with a blank statement like that. Even people with varying degrees of blindness have been known to make consistent photographs. Others here have indicated there are solutions available for a colorblind person. Canons to the left, Canons to the right,

Maybe I'm misreading your post, please explain to me why someone who is color blind shouldn't do color photography?

This post is completely out of line. Ever heard of Ludwig van Beethoven? Beethoven was an amazing musician who also happened to be deaf. I am glad he didn't take the advice of others who told him not to write music....

Aug 26, 2011 08:24 | #40 ThatJamesGuy wrote in post #12995775 I'm sorry to put it so bluntly but if you're colorblind, how can you expect to make a living, or even a dollar from colour photography? It's VERY rare for someone to take a print that wouldn't benefit from some post production, and true to that, I see that everything on your site could use some as well. If you can't see the photos you're taking properly, I'm not sure how you are able to tell which ones are your good ones. In my opinion you have 3 options: Switch to B&W only, hire someone to do your post production, or find something else to do that doesn't require colour. Again, I'm not trying to be rude, but that's really what it comes down to. No one's going to buy your photos because they're the best you can do due to this imparement, they'll just look for someone who can see everything. Thank you for being blunt. I love photography and will keep trying even with my imparement, i don't need to make a living from it. It sounds like CS5 has some sort of technical processing for color blindness that I can look into.

Aug 26, 2011 08:28 | #41 ThatJamesGuy wrote in post #12996025 I just remembered there is a color profile setting for colorblind people in photoshop cs5, you could try that. Great information, i will look intyo it. It is time for me to upgrade from CS4 anyway.

Everyone else has offered useful information for me, and it has been appreciated. I'll keep working on the skill part and maybe have my wife help with the processing part.

Maybe I'm biased because I'm familiar with a lot of your locations, but I don't see anything "WOW". I didn't look through your whole site though. Read my SEO for the Photographer link in my sig. Mike, How many people hit your site a week and how many photographs do you sell from your site?

First, good luck with the challenges you face. Patience and dedication can help you overcome almost anything you face.
