Have a look at the John Dugdale exhibit at http://johnstevenson-gallery.com/dugdale_2003_lead.html He's photographer blinded by an illness a little over ten years ago. There is quite a bit of information about how he works. It's an interesting read. View Camera Magazine also published an article about him in their Nov/Dec 2004 issue.
