If you use #AltText, I have one thing to say to you.
Thank you. You may not get commentary on a post every time you write it out acknowledging that you did, but as someone who's #Blind, trust me. We notice.
If you don't write AltText on your photos, we notice that too. Please give it a try. Imagine how you'd feel if you came across picture after picture that looks like a blank screen to you. You'd be frustrated, right?
If you don't know where to start, check out my pinned thread on AltText.

@JesseF8693 good to know. That's really a fine feedback!
It's always hard to imagine want someone blind might see. So I'm not sure if I describe it in the right way. But I'll go on trying my best.

@alikatze Try asking yourself how you might describe the very same thing to a friend over the phone. That's one approach I've heard works well for people.

@JesseF8693 ja, that's fine for people who might have the same visual experience. I knew some guys who got blind in the early twenties and had seen things.
But it's much harder to imagine, what you are when you never had a visual experience.

But... On the ocean film tour I've seen a blind surfer. He got blind in his early years and he said that he doesn't dream in pictures anymore. He dreams the way he "sees".

Perhaps it's even good to describe things our mind adds to the seen?

@alikatze I'd just focus on what is seen in the image personally. That's just me though. Feel free to experiment a little!
