Welcome! This page provides a catalog of verbal descriptions for the greeting cards I create. A QR code is available as a card insert– and photograph titles are listed below. Click on the title to access the verbal description! Verbal description uses text or language to communicate visual information. It is an essential access feature for people with blindness or low vision.
Please contact me if you do not find the photo description or have questions. I’m experimenting with how best to offer this access feature. I’m open to feedback.
Photo Titles:
Among the Trees
A portrait image of trees and a dandelion that has gone to seed. The dandelion is positioned with its long stem appearing to be the same size as the trees behind it. The fluffy white seeds blur a little as it blends with the green treetops in the background.
Animation
A landscape image entirely composed of deep blue waves that ripple with shades darkening to the right and bottom of the photo. Hundreds of sparkling bursts of light are sprinkled randomly throughout slightly more concentrated on the left. Several of the individual bursts resemble the sun with rays of light extending from their round center points.
Inside a Wish
A portrait image captures a close-up of a dandelion that has gone to seed. The round shape of the dandelion increases in clarity as it moves toward the center, extending beyond the photo on each side. It pops off a blurred green palette with the hint of a stem below it. In the center of the photograph, a collection of about a dozen seeds is in sharp focus with thin lines of fluff bursting like sun rays from the concentrated white centers. The white fluffy lines overlap one another in places, creating an abstract pattern through which the green palette provides a contrast.
Old Friends
A landscape image. In the foreground, dark silhouettes of two leaning willows shadow one another, bowing slightly left. They show as gnarled black outlines on a blue horizon. The image captures only the midsections of the leafless trees. A few jagged branches extend from the trunks and bend in various directions.
Trusting the Waves
A portrait image. The entire image is shallow water, two small gentle waves moving in on the horizon. As the water crests for the first wave near the top edge, it appears to be a purplish blue color. It takes on a more brownish tone when it moves into the second wave near the center of the image. Shadows provide added depth to the curving waves that extend beyond the left and right edges. Reflections dance on the surface of the water illustrating additional movement. The reflections fade and make way for tiny white bubbles at the bottom of the photo. The view seems layered in horizontal colors, shades, and patterns of light.
