ANAHEIM - Robert Wright pressed the camera in his face. He had elbowed past other Disneyland visitors - past an army of children and the parental camera corps - to set his auto-focus on Roger Rabbit.

Click, click, click.

Wright looked like any other tourist Wednesday, and for the most part, his photos look like the average vacation slide. The difference is, the Seattle photographer is legally blind.

He's got a great gig - and he knows it.

Three photo companies picked up most of the tab for his vacation and the Anaheim Hilton Towers has donated a room for his three-day stay.

Wright doesn't have a job. He's been a student at the University of Washington for 20 years and survives on various types of public assistance.

"I want to live the life of a child and get paid for it," said Mr. Wright, 39. "It's unheard of, but possible if you approach it from the right prerspective."

Wright was at Disneyland to gather photographs for a poster he said is meant to inspire the visually impaired. His sponsors will display his collage of Disney characters at photography trade shows.

Wright's vision is 20/700, which means he can see the same thing at 20 feet that a person with normal vision can see at 700 feet.

Putting something right in front of his eyes and he can see it pretty clear. But put something, even a building, in the distance and it becomes a fuzzy block on the horizon.

Wright's vision has been like this since he was an infant. He started taking pictures 20 years ago because people told him that he couldn't succeed. Most people with a visual handicap get caught up in the handicap and don't make the effort," he said. "I want to let people know that handicapped people have a right to choose for themselves."
