Blind Photogrpahers in Tel Aviv

I once photographed a blind photographer. He taught photography to people whose vision was impaired. As with most blind people he was partially sighted but only in the corner of one eye and very near-sighted. After learning to make photographs he was able to examine scenes in photos, holding the prints up close to his eye. where he had vision.

This is an example of photographs aiding in seeing/ vision.
