Blind photographer's work to be showcased at festival

A blind photographer's exhibition will be one of the highlights of an arts festival in Edinburgh.

Rosita McKenzie, 56, from the city's Portobello, is to have her pictures of Edinburgh people showcased in the Central Library on George IV Bridge as part of the Edinburgh Art Festival.



Completely blind from the age of 12, Mrs McKenzie homes in on "people's personalities" to capture the right shot.

The exhibition begins on 12 August.

What an odd concept, a blind photographer. She makes art she can't herself experience. But if there's meaning for her in taking pictures, who am I to question that? It's a wonderful, strange world we have here.
