An American photographer is making copies of great artwork available for blind people and those with very poor eyesight．At least 285 million people worldwide are either blind or considered visually impaired （有缺陷的）．They are unable to see or enjoy visual fine art．
  Romeo Edmead lost his eyesight when he was only two years old．But that has not stopped him from living life to the fullest．He went to collage and studied journalism．He now lives in New York．He depends heavily on his other senses．But he cannot experience the great works of art in the City．He remembers a visit to an art collection with his grandmother． "We went to this museum and I just wandered off somewhere and I started touching something，and all of a sudden alarm went off．And a guard came running over，and my grandmother was all ashamed．" Romeo is now able to use his fingers to feel art paintings．He can get an idea of the appearance by following the markings．
   John Olson once worked as a photographer for LIFE magazine．He developed a printing process to make the art of Da Vinci and Van Gogh touchable for visually-impaired people． "I began to realize how important images （影像） have been to me，and what they have allowed me to do．And it caused me to wonder what it was for the blind，not having access to images．" Olson's company is called 3 D Photoworks．It produces copies of artwork in three dimensions-height ，width and depth．The whole process can take up to four weeks．
   Thanks to new technology，3 D art may soon hang in art museums all over the world．It gives the visually- impaired the chance to experience the beauty of visual art．
