Legally blind and blind are too entirely different things. Without my glasses I
am legally blind (of course being correctable I am not actually), but I do not
bump into things and can actually recognize people. I certainly could take
photographs although they would have to empathize shape and color rather than
detail.

I just spent an enjoyable couple of hours watching the movie Proof
(http://imdb.com/title/tt0102721/) which, in it's most simple description,
is about a blind photographer and how he uses photography to explore the
world around him that he can sense but not see. He uses a P&S camera, one
with auto focus and a zoom lens. The camera looks and sounds remarkably
like a Pentax IQ Zoom, something along the lines of the 105R. Does anyone
know for sure what camera was used in the movie?
BTW, don't laugh too hard at the idea of a blind photographer. There are
at least three legally blind photographers living and working in the San
Francisco area that I know of ... their work is remarkable in that at least
two of them do their own printing as well as making photos, and one uses a
manual focus camera. He, I believe, is the least blind of the group, with
a 20/200 vision.
