Photographers with Autism Capture the Cherry Blossoms through Their Own Lenses

Wednesday, down at the Tidal Basin by the Jefferson Memorial, a group of four photographers with autism captured the beauty of the cherry blossoms through the lenses of their camera.

Brian, James, Jimmie and Matt are enrolled in the “InFocus Project”—part of Community Services for Autistic Adults and Children, or CSAAC, one of the oldest and largest service organizations for people and families living with autism.

The “InFocus Project” is made possible through a generous grant from the Letaw Family Foundation. The InFocus Project helps build the entrepreneurial skills of these talented photographers. Each photographer shoots, edits and frames his best photographs, which are then made available for purchase online and at various events throughout the year. To view profiles of the photographers or to learn more about the InFocus Project, go to www.csaac.org/infocus/index.htm.
