Group Description

About the Group

Blind Photographers is a group for blind and otherwise visually-impaired photographers. How does having a different visual experience affect our photography?

Group Rules

There are only two:

First, please introduce yourself if you are posting photos to this group. A big part of this group is the community we are building. Each of us is living a unique story, melding his or her photographic vision around his or her vision issues. The first step in developing our group is sharing our stories with each other.

Second, if not too inconvenient, please tag your photos with BlindPhotographers or "Blind Photographers" (Flickr does not count spaces within quotes).

Thanks!

Group Tag

I have also begun tagging all the photos in the group with the tag "BlindPhotographers". I would not mind if you added this to your posts in the future. Thanks!
