\nPhotography is the last visual art. Blind photography is therefore the last bourgeois taboo. A medium apparently controlled by light cannot
\nPhotography requires composition and technical competences in order to both see and extract a scene or image onto the storage medium. it is this latter which is insurmountable to those lacking in the visual sense.
\nThose of serious visual impairment must first stumble upon a subject worthy of capture, set up their equipment, compose the shot, optimise their settings, and take the shot. Having captured the masterpiece they must then develop it by whatever means. How can they critically review their work without the ability to observe it. The chances of achieving a masterpiece in this way are minimal.

\nnote2: there should always be more than one footnote on a document
\nnote3: digital or analogue photography is equally valid here. Added fun can be had by developing photos by hand.
\nnote4: this is a photo of a blind and not blind photography:
