I'm a blind photographer - and in my case, that's not an oxymoron:-) I blog at Seeing Things - http://cathybrowne.com.I'm also a veteran PR gal, content creator and community builder eager to integrate social media into the mix and set traditional PR on its ear. I love my iPad, conversation, writing, walking, laughing, hugs, my cats, my friends and family.
