Part 1<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I believe I was born an artist. The first thing I ever did was draw and sketch with pencils and paper. Just thinking about it, my photography and my drawing are very similar. I enjoy contrast, light, and shadows. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve always been a hands-on person. I had an interest in old film cameras, back when digital cameras didn\u2019t exist. I particularly liked the idea of a mechanical box that could take a picture. It was something that always interested me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I was 15 years old I was told that I was going blind. I remember the doctor sitting me down and telling me that I had Usher Syndrome, or Retinitis Pigmentosa Type 2, resulting in severe hearing and vision loss. When I heard the news, I panicked. I told myself that I have to see as many things as possible before it all goes too dark. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I set out with my little camera, which I still have to this day, and I was obsessed with capturing every moment. It wasn\u2019t anything artistic, but they were moments that I wanted to remember. I still have all those photos to this day in a massive box. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That was one aspect of my love for photography, but there are so many other parallel things. I used to look through magazines or walk through art galleries in London and see paintings; it just does something to me that I can\u2019t put into words.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My other informal art education was watching films. I used to go to a video shop and rent a video for a couple of days. I loved spending a Saturday afternoon watching a film. I learned a lot of my compositions through movies. Cinematography and photography are very similar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fast forward to the early 00\u2019s. It was still in the early stages of digital photography. I didn\u2019t really get into it until 2009 when I did open mic night. I met a photographer in this quirky pub. I was looking at one of his photos and I realized digital photography got a lot better over the years. His photos looked amazing. From there, a little seed was planted in my mind. I didn\u2019t have a lot of computer skills or knowledge on exposure, but I thought that this was something I could try.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I eventually bought a digital camera and acted like I was a professional photographer. I was being over enthusiastic, but that\u2019s how I learned. I learned through trial and error. I was able to go out there and mess up. Then I would go on Google to ask questions. We live in such a great time where we can just apply ourselves and learn something new. Back in my day, you had to go to university to learn something. Now you can find a tutorial on the internet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overtime, I became more confident in my photography skills. Photography has opened up so many doors for me. It\u2019s helped me come out as a blind person. It\u2019s the only thing keeping me connected to the world. I believe it allows me to still interact, but also be on the outside witnessing creativity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When people find out that I\u2019m a blind photographer, they\u2019re usually a bit baffled and confused. Generally when people ask, I\u2019m more than happy to explain. I remember going on holiday last year. I was walking around with my white cane and my camera. This guy approached me and asked how I was able to take photos while being blind. I explained the situation to him and he understood. I like when people respectfully ask me questions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I find it harder when people stare and judge. They think that I\u2019m not really blind and that I\u2019m faking it. What I\u2019ve discovered over the past couple of years is that the word \u201cblind\u201d is confusing to some people. They think it\u2019s all or nothing, and that there\u2019s nothing in between. It\u2019s either you\u2019re sighted or completely blind. The bizarre thing is that the people who are totally blind make up a smaller percentage of the blind population as opposed to what I call the \u201cin-betweeners\u201d, who are partially or severely visually impaired. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I sometimes find it frustrating when people are totally incapable of acting normal around blind people. They say that they don\u2019t, but they become awkward around you. I see it all the time from my little tiny window. I see the fear of my cane. Sometimes people will avoid me like the plague like I\u2019m some zombie from The Walking Dead. They see my cane and immediately cross the road just to avoid me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blind people are normal people. You get nice people. You get horrible people. You get plump people. You get funny people. You get quiet people. You get loud ones. That\u2019s the same with blind people. We\u2019re all different. We all come in different shapes and sizes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I sometimes wonder if people act the way they do toward blind people because there isn\u2019t a sighted connection and it causes a barrier. It\u2019s similar with hearing, too. Our sight and hearing are probably the most dominant senses we have in order to communicate. If there\u2019s a sight barrier, then a sighted person may not have any instructions on how to deal with a blind person. I think there needs to be instructions on how to interact with blind people. There have been some amazing YouTubers who make videos about their blindness. I applaud them for getting their message across to people. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re sighted, don\u2019t be afraid of blind people. Just approach us and say hi! Tap us on the arm. Don\u2019t just shout. Just approach us gently. We\u2019re not going to bite! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Part 2<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Blindness is generally not what people want to hear. Most people want to hear the more inspiring side of things, which is great. But people don\u2019t really want to hear things like I wish I wasn\u2019t blind or I wish I had full eyesight. Or people would always say, would your photography be like this if you weren\u2019t blind?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The thing is, I would be doing a lot more if I had full eyesight. I hate being blind. I\u2019m very artistic. I\u2019m very enthusiastic. I\u2019m very adventurous. I like being out and about. I love doing things. The last few years, it\u2019s kind of just gone downhill because I\u2019m doing less and less.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I feel like since I\u2019ve started using the white cane, I\u2019ve had to give up even more things because I have to conform to the public\u2019s idea of what a blind person is. I would think, should I be going rock climbing? People sort of question if I should be doing something because I can\u2019t see well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve stopped myself from doing a lot of things and that\u2019s really made feel down and depressed because I would never have thought that I would allow myself to do that, because I consider myself to be a strong person. I try to push through things and battle the biggest problems and issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The last seven years I left my job, lost my driver\u2019s license, was forced into bankruptcy, and had a breakdown. I just feel really defeated at the moment, if I\u2019m really being honest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m just trying to find ways to keep myself going. I\u2019m trying to find ways to break the perceptions of what a blind person is and I\u2019m still trying to figure that out. I don\u2019t really know how to do that. I guess it\u2019s why I\u2019m grateful for my photography because it\u2019s somehow allowed me to bring up the blindness more and talk about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think my biggest thing for me is loneliness. I\u2019ve gone from the kid that was always out on his bike with his friends to having this eye condition that prohibits me from doing things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wasn\u2019t prepared for the lasting effects that it was going to give me. In a nutshell, what I\u2019m feeling is probably how retired people feel. You spend all your life working, you get up early every morning, you go to work, and you\u2019re busy. You do that for years and years, and suddenly you stop. And it\u2019s OK for maybe like a week, two weeks, maybe three weeks. But I can tell you after months and years go by, it just ruins you mentally. As human beings, we are meant to be on the go. We are meant to be productive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve had quite a lot of proud moments if I\u2019m really honest. If I really think about it, it\u2019s all to do with being blind \u2013 so I guess that\u2019s where the positive comes from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cI hadn\u2019t really looked at my work for a long time. And I was like, oh. Man. You\u2019ve taken some nice photos. And I can tell you, I rarely ever said that to myself in my life.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Well, gosh, there\u2019s so many. But I\u2019ve been an ambassador for Sense. One thing that I was really proud of was when I got an award a couple of years ago. It was a great feeling to be recognized for this mission of changing this whole idea of blind people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A lot of it has been more quite recent, but even being asked to do a SkyTalk. For me, that just makes me so happy to know that I\u2019m on the right path to be able to talk about this kind of stuff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, having my first exhibition or photographing certain people, which I never ever dreamed would ever happen. And yet it did. When I look at the pictures, I think my god, did that really happen? Was that real?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think a lot of artistic people are very critical of their work, but I can say that I\u2019m really proud of the body of work I created in quite a short span of time \u2013 from complete amateur to professional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recently when I was working on my new website, I looked through all my work. I hadn\u2019t really looked at my work for a long time. And I was like, oh. Man. You\u2019ve taken some nice photos. And I can tell you, I rarely ever said that to myself in my life, but I can honestly say, it was only a couple months ago, I was like, yeah, I\u2019m bloody proud of myself here. I managed to make all these photoshoots happen. I managed to meet all these people and people said really positive things and seemed to get what I\u2019m all about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I remember when I photographed an \u201980s-\u201990s vocalist, Lisa Stansfield. I don\u2019t know if she ever was big in America, but she was big in the UK. When I photographed her I was just like, this is a dream! I\u2019ve watched her on TV and she\u2019s super famous and all that kind of stuff. I think I just couldn\u2019t quite believe how this scruffy, long-haired guy somehow managed to find himself working for a film festival or doing portrait jobs or being commissioned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall, I\u2019m happy with what I created artistically. What I\u2019m going to create in the future, I don\u2019t really know just yet. I think it\u2019s going to be more documenting. I\u2019m still doing photography, I\u2019m just not doing as much as I had done in the last six years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If someone offered me a job at Vogue, I\u2019ll take it. That would be wonderful. I don\u2019t really know what I want\u2013 I kind of just go along with the flow, figuring out what to do. Like I said before, since using the cane, I seem to be doing less, but that\u2019s not really the point of it. So I need to figure that out somehow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Part 3<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ll be honest, as an older person- I don\u2019t think of myself as old, but I think in technology era terms, I\u2019m older. It\u2019s taken me to be inspired by a younger generation who are using these social platforms to spread the message. I wasn\u2019t doing anything like that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It takes so much courage the fact that she [Elin Williams<\/a>] was talking about the white cane saying how she didn\u2019t like to use it and she still finds it a bit awkward, kind of made me feel a bit better. Because I think, my god, it\u2019s not just me that feels like that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a long time, I didn\u2019t tell people I was blind. I hid it for so long. It wasn\u2019t that long ago when I started to fully open up. I kind of started a few years ago, but I didn\u2019t really feel that comfortable about it. It\u2019s kind of like losing an identity because you know that once you give your old self up, you are now going to become the \u201cperson with the white cane\u201d kind of thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a new identity and I\u2019m still transitioning into that. Sometimes I still have moments where I think I don\u2019t need to use the white cane and sometimes I can. This is where I\u2019m confused about this whole idea of what a blind person is. Because I\u2019ve been brought up on that old idea myself and I don\u2019t really feel like we\u2019re in that box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve noticed along they way that this is team effort here. It\u2019s not going to be just me changing the world. But if I can just be a part of that change, then I\u2019ll be really bloody happy to participate. Like I said, I\u2019m being inspired by the younger generation to start doing things and sort of give me a boot up the backside, really.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I feel like I can get over my battle of being disconnected on a daily basis. If I can change that aspect to my life, it would improve. I\u2019ve noticed that life is about\u2013 and it may sound really corny and cliche \u2013 but life is literally about connecting with people. You can\u2019t survive life on your own. That\u2019s what I seemed to notice and it has been quite evident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was born profoundly deaf. I have an older sister who was born profoundly deaf and also had the same eye condition. But obviously she was diagnosed being profoundly deaf. So when I come along, it was going to be very evident that I will probably have hearing problems, which I did. I kind of got used to it, really. Going up to the hospital, to London, having hearing aids fitted in, being prodded around. I quite enjoyed it, really. Kind of like little gadgets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I went to a regular school. I had regular friends. I was very fortunate that\u2013 and this is probably why I struggled later in life because I wasn\u2019t treated any differently. I already had problems, you know being sort of isolated in the aspect of being left out. I could never really hear the conversations particularly well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then in my teens, I was the one that figured out that I had an eye condition in the family. My parents hadn\u2019t even noticed or recognized\u2013 my sister hadn\u2019t even recognized anything was wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I figured it out because I was out with my friends riding bikes. We were in the woods and I remember it got dark and I remember thinking, it\u2019s really strange how my friends can see where they are going and I literally can\u2019t see a thing. I remember it. I still remember it. It was complete black. I was so scared, like, so frightened. And I was like, that\u2019s so weird. How come they can see and I can\u2019t? So I asked to be taken to a local optician in my little town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He told me that I needed to go to the hospital because there was something seriously wrong with my eyes. When they checked my eyes over, he sat me down and said that I had this condition called Retina Pigmentosa and that my eyes would be basically deteriorating from here onwards. I just had this sense of panic and unfortunately, it never got talked about at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we got back home it wasn\u2019t discussed. It was just forgotten about. So that\u2019s kind of how I dealt with it in a lot ways. Well, my mother and father are not talking about it so there\u2019s no point in telling people about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So it was only when the doctor told me I was losing my vision that suddenly I realized there was a difference in my eyesight. But to me, I was like, well, I\u2019ve gotten used to this so I was still able to do a lot of things. I went scuba diving. I never told anyone that I had an eye condition then because I felt that if I told anyone that I had an eye condition, they\u2019d say, \u201coh, well I\u2019m not sure if it\u2019s safe for you to go down there, blah, blah, blah.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s almost like getting permission to do things in life from other people. I know what\u2019s safe and what\u2019s not and I\u2019ve sort of pushed the boat out on a lot of things. But I felt like, hey, I\u2019m only going to live once and I\u2019m losing my eyesight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The positive of being blind is that it\u2019s going to allow me to connect with a certain type of community of people that I probably wouldn\u2019t have connected with if I wasn\u2019t blind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes I think maybe blindness has definitely sculpted me as a person, no question about it. The way I think, how I do things, my love for life, etc. There\u2019s a positive and a negative. And there\u2019s lots of great things in the world. But there\u2019s a lot of awful not so nice things. We\u2019re still evolving. That\u2019s what we\u2019re doing right now. We\u2019re still evolving as human beings. Still figuring it out. I think the probably only positive thing for me about being blind is that if I could do some good with it, then that would be the positive thing for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
