In this Digital Story from #SeeingInIsolation, we follow Craig’s journey to acceptance after he goes blind in his twenties because of diabetes. He also gives us a window into his world of hallucinations caused by Charles Bonnet Syndrome. bit.ly/3hBcoWD #AudioDescribed

For NYT Magazine I wrote about a show that cast a sighted actress in a blind role, and how it lead me to reconsider the ways in which people—blind, sighted, or, like me, somewhere in between—perform disability, and what blindness is supposed to look like: nytimes.com/2021/07/01/mag…

Where there is greater unfamiliarity, I mentally map my surroundings to avoid walking into, touching or knocking over things. Self-Portrait, 2021 © Karren Visser #SightLines #ACESupported #SociallyEngagedPhotography #VisuallyImpaired #AudioDescription #Accessibility #Diversity

Reflections and details have their own presence ... the messages they contain speak of remembrances to be better understood close-up. #KarrenVisser #SightLines #ACESupported #Photography #SociallyEngagedPhotography #VisuallyImpaired #AudioDescription #Accessibility #Diversity

I wish to show how I observe myself and what others who know me are learning from the changes to my eyesight. @aceagrams #KarrenVisser #SightLines #ACESupported #SociallyEngagedPhotography #VisuallyImpaired #AudioDescription #Accessibility #Diversity

This week choosing a quiet street to navigate with my white cane led to a chat with a man, and me learning his family eat bananas grown in their conservatory on Christmas Day. #KarrenVisser #SightLines #ACESupported #Photography #SociallyEngagedPhotography #VisuallyImpaired

How can a blind person look at a camera? Clearly not blind you’re looking directly at the camera. Blind yet managed to look at the camera every time. The comments are endless and I’m hilarious #Blind #BlindAwarenessMonth #ableismexists #disability #Funny

A huge you to the staff member at #WembleyCentral who was off duty already and helped me. Even took me to Tescos to get some snacks. Thank you to #TravelAssist at #Marleybone ... National Rail you have real people working with incredible kindness.
