Susana Frame: Photography involves more than just having a good camera.

Barry Judge: It does indeed. It's a skill that requires a keen eye, that is, a unique way of looking at things. And for a Seattle man, his sight may not be perfect, but his vision is "Down Right" inspired. Robert Wright is one who doesn't loose sight of his goals and Julie Francivella introduces us tonight to "Someone You Should Know".

Robert Wright: I don't need anyone else's approval to give my life purpose. I am going to try those things that I am interested in even if other people are incapable, for the moment, of understanding it.

Julie Francivella: It may take a while to understand how Robert Wright could be a photographer. He is legally blind. A car accident, when he was a baby, left him with 20/400 vision. That means, what a normal sighted person can see 400 feet away, Wright can only see from twenty feet. But his impairment doesn't stop him from taking spectacular photographs. Robert's sharp photos are a marriage of skill with technology. It wasn't until he got his first auto focus camera, that his real talent became clear.

Robert Wright: Good Shot!

Julie Francivella: Now he hopes that his hobby develops into a career. Several companies paid for Robert's trip to Disneyland, so he could take pictures for a photo collage. Jodi Bowman, is with the Lighthouse For The Blind.

Jodi Bowman: Robert doesn't set any limitations on himself. He doesn't take "No" for an answer! He just finds another avenue to pursue it; another way to reach his goal.

Julie Francivella: Five years ago, Robert Wright set a goal to bike from Seattle to San Francisco. He only made as far as Central Oregon, but he still considers it the trip "A Victory". He raised $600 for charity.

Robert Wright: Even those that have handicaps.... other types of handicap, I would like to encourage them to at least try something they may want to do. Don't expect Failure, but if failure comes, be satisfied with the fact that they tried.

Julie Francivella: ... and he wants those with normal vision to see him as someone whose got a lot to give!

Robert Wright: I want them to see, the fact, that even somebody with a legal blindness condition; still has worth; still has a purpose in life; and still should be given some form of dignity - a level of respect by everyone around them.
