Your Bio
Sandy Jo (Becker) Hyman / PortViews
Photography has added a completely unexpected dimension to my life. Born with limited vision, I have never known what I could not see—until I started taking photographs. I have learned that geese take a running start before taking off into flight, and that they stand on one leg for long periods of time. I’ve also been able to see goslings up close and ducks drinking water that comes over the dam—all for the first time.
The ability to capture intense and varied light and texture in my photographs compensates for my visual lack of depth perception. I can now not only see the amazing beauty and character of my surroundings more as others do, but also allow others to see what fascinates me—texture, reflections, and fog.
One final note: Never take your visual acuity or your surroundings for granted. Each is truly a gift. Share that gift with others every day.
