Round 36

The Accessibility Round

 

Round 36 has a very special theme – Accessibility. While Scavengers were not required to stick to the theme when creating their images we did want to highlight challenges people face, as well as alternate ways to communicate and move around. The words we chose for the List highlight difficutlies faced, as well as tools to help overcome them. Obviously photography is a visual art, but there are many viewers – as well as photographers with sight challenges. Some are as common as near/far-sightedness, and most know someone who is color-blind or are themselves.

The more the world moves online, the more it needs to be available to all of us. We all benefit from having different methods of interacting with online material – some of us like reading, some listening, others like video for one example. Some of us like mice, others keyboard shortcuts. Some cameras have auto-focus based on where your eye looks or your finger taps.

Please enjoy the creativity and outside the box thinking of this round.
