Caregiving: adapting media visual impairment

This evolving project of converting aging VHS tapes to DVD had its genesis in a NEED to find a way for Patti to SEE family pictures.

 

Multiple Sclerosis visual impairment prevented Patti from seeing and enjoying photographs. I found that by converting photos to DVD and displaying them on a mega screen TV that she was able to once again enjoy looking at family photos. Beginning with photo slide shows the path of trial and error led to converting aging family videos to DVD.

 

Sometimes you find gems. Re-discovering this 20 second clip felt a bit like video mining.

 

American tourists with cameras can wear down even the statuesque poise of British Royal Guards....
