Re: Blind photographer

Hi Guy,

Thanks for the site.
Bavcar made an exhibit here in Brazil a few months back, a friend talked to
him a lot and he explained that he can photograph people by talking to them,
so he can figure out where to point his camera to in order to frame the
subject.
It's hard to believe that someone blind can make such beautiful pictures. He
mentioned that to make a good picture, the photographer must go a bit blind
too, so his work is not at all disassociate to pinhole and zone plate isn't
it? Aren't we going a bit blind when shooting the way we do?
Just a though.
Cheers
Joao
