Shawn Blanc: Grandpa’s iPad

Jeff Carlson on January 23, 2014

Great, touching post by Shawn Blanc about his grandfather, who is legally blind, using the iPad as a camera:

At first, I wanted to snicker. But how could I? If my Grandpa wants to use an iPad to take a picture of his grandson and great grandson, then who cares? Certainly not me.

…

My Grandpa’s iPad has enabled him to do something that he’s been unable to do for as long as I can remember. The 9.7-inch touch screen has turned my Grandpa into a photographer.
