Blind photographers use touch, smell, hearing, memory, and other sensations to "compose" their images and sense the timing their subjects. They prove — beautifully and creatively — that you can see without sight. Make your photographs without the use of sight. Use other senses besides sight to create the photograph: your imagination, memory, intuition, touch, smell, or hearing instead. Write a brief statement, explaining how you took the picture without looking.
