May 11, 2010: Painter blind from birth

A lot of questions could be answered if he would consent to being videoed while painting or painting on a live show (quiet set of course).

Of course, if he is actually 100% blind, you may not need his permission at all to quietly set up the video camera

Got my wish... sort of.

Apparently in 2008 Volvo did a documentary of sorts on Esref where they filmed his process for their new S60.

Yeah but, somewhere along the line somebody had to tell him what colors are, and where they go. Then had to supply the colored paints labeled for him to distinguish which is which. They also had to explain shadows. Oh, and that bananas are two colors.

That said, in doesn't take away from the fact that what he does is fucking amazing, even without color.

Yeah, but their other senses are heightened, so they can totally smell you setting up a video camera.

I appreciate the optimistic vote of confidence that it would take "heightened senses" to smell me.

Your point is well taken, so this would be a two man job. I have a buddy that farts like a lumberjack who could throw him off the trail.
While Esref is clearing his head I will set up the video camera.
