The marathon D\u00e9clic has come and gone – great success, even if I say so myself (well, as it was I who organised pretty much everything, I think I’m allowed to pat myself on the shouler…<\/em>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

51 people signed up, down on our usual 80+ but par for the course with the post-Covid situation etc. We had a lovely warm day, the participants enjoyed the food I had layed on – all in all a good year. The jury sits on the 1st of June – we’ll see what we can drag out of them this year…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Had a quick look over on FLICKR and noticed a chap who I used to know (over near St Clar in the Gers) has bought himself a Nikon Z7ll – now his FLICKR feed is overun with the same dross but of a slightly higher pixel density, and sadly no increase in visual quality, and it got me thinking – I asked myself why the 3 or four of his harem, sorry, followers seemed to think this bloke is the bees knees?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And then it dawned on me – and frankly I have to admit I’m sad that I didn’t think of doing the same thing myself <\/em>– his pictures are in braille<\/strong> – his followers are BLIND<\/strong>! I had previously realised he must have been playing to a visually handicapped audience, but I hadn’t twigged the fundamental reason.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What a marvellous technique – and I really must congratulate DT for his perspicacity – people with physical handicaps really do get a rotten deal in the long run, and I think this is a wonderful initiative – well done!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
