Blind since the age of twelve, Mrs McKenzie (now 59) homes in on her subjects' personalities in order to capture the photoshoots she needs ... and, to ensure her pictures are in focus, uses a digital camera on an automatic setting.

Sometimes the best picture you take are the ones you was not taking a picture off,
I am lucky i can see but again one of the best picture i took is a little blurred but the content is amazing it shows happiness, you have to look into the whole picture to see the beauty, just my own thoughts
