Those who have visited

the National Center for the Blind know that the walls in public areas have been

decorated with framed reproductions of famous paintings. The NFB Jernigan Institute

has recently been decorated in its own distinctive way. Ninety-nine enlarged

photographs of blind people doing all sorts of things have recently been hung

in public areas of the Institute. They are mounted using box frames stained

the same color as the paneling. The result is that the pictures seem to be embedded

in the wall.
