Dear Listers: Greetings from the Eyeway Helpdesk for the day!
Follow below the Daily Eyeway Alerts: 1. News Alerts- In January 2015, an ad for soap featuring Katrina Kaif drew four million hits online. The still photographs had been shot by 26-year-old Bhavesh Patel who was born blind. He had judged Katrina's height by her handshake, and followed her movements through her voice and the rustle of fabric. Over the years, Bhavesh and his sightless friends, Mahesh Umrania, Kanchan Pamnani and Harsh Vyas, have exhibited their photographs at India Habitat Center in New Delhi and NCPA in Mumbai, at the Kala Ghoda Festival, as well as the Indian High Commission in the UK. Some of Bhavesh's portraits and landscapes are so symmetrical and sharp, one cannot tell his handicap. Despite his enterprise, Bhavesh has no illusions about turning his hobby into a career. "Not many people would trust a sightless person to archive precious moments like weddings. I shoot independently, but it helps to have tips on the landscape so I know where to focus my camera. For now, I indulge my passion with my iPhone," he says.
