Is it tact less to take a photo with a visually impaired person? Would asking their permission makes a difference? (self.Blind)

Usually if you take a photo with a sighted person, you ask, instead of standing next to them and taking a picture. Usually if you're taking a photo of a sighted person, you ask. The same principles apply to blind people.

My concern is that the experience of taking a photo is only one-sided. As in, I'm having the fun all by myself. The photo may be a memorabilia for me, but may not for him/her. In some way, selfish.

Oh. In that case, you're being way to hypersensitive haha.

Please please please ask for permission before randomly taking anyone's photo. This applies to blind and sighted alike.
And as a totally blind person, if you were my friend and wanted to take a photo with me I would not be offended. Quite the contrary. I'd charge you $15 for a signed 8x10

Duh? Taking a photo with someone without them realizing it is pretty rude, especially if it's not like a close friend you're playing a joke with.

I have worded my question poorly. Would it makes more sense if I asked "Would it still be tact less if I ask permission to take a photo with a blind person?"

If it would be appropriate to ask a sighted person to take a photo with them in that circumstance, it would be appropriate to ask a blind person.

So long as my makeup and outfit is on point, i love having my picture taken. I'd like to think that i'm doing you sighted folks a favor by looking so fabulous

If you are asking, as a blind person if taking my picture offends me the answer is no... in fact I love having my picture taken

yes, that is my concern. Because that photo will only be enjoyed by me and not him/her
