Visual Culture

We generally consider visual culture to be the major culture requiring our inquiry, vehemence, and defense. It's the overwhelming result of advertising, media, and corporation. So, what's visual culture matter to the blind?

My step mother works with a blind woman. You could call it volunteering, but she's come to be very good friends with this woman and their interaction is certainly not strictly on the level of the uninterested volunteer.

One morning while driving, Ms. Winslow commented that she wanted to write a poem and had 9 things to write a poem about. She listed them slowly: the wind on her face, the rush of water in a stream. However, what she didn't realize was that she was the poem. There. The blind woman with 9 things already tucked away to write about.
