This image, entitled Rain Steam and Speed, was painted by one of Britains most reverred artists, JMW Turner. He had cataracts. You can see a disturbance to his vision on the left side of this painting.
I am attempting an MA in Photography. I am registered blind after a stroke 3 years ago.
The stroke has made me have to look at what I see more closely. This has resulted in my becoming more analytical of the world around me. It might sound like a cliche, but every image is precious simply because I can see it.
My aim is to prove in some way that a lack of optical acuity does not have to mean a lack of visual creativity.
