    What do you mean by out-of-focus look?

    Edit: I don’t fully understand your comment, but there are blind people who can program. So even if she was blind, it does not mean she couldn’t reverse engineer the graphics drivers. Can you be more specific?

      As if you don’t know where the camera is. People with normal vision will typically look straight at the camera, or focus on some object behind the camera. And since blind people don’t see where the camera is, their eyes sometimes (often) appear to be looking unfocused. You can’t tell where their gaze goes because they are not gazing at anything. This is what the two photos (this one and wikipedia) look like and why I was curious.

        So from one photo you conclude if a person is blind or not? I don’t get that what you described, the person looks to the camera. And even if not, sometimes its an artistic decision not to look into the camera (well to be fair in a portrait photo that would be unusual). As far as I know she is not blind, couldn’t find any documentation on that on the Wikipedia article about her.

        Edit: In example on some photos of me I look a bit different, like I would be a demon or something like that. Would you conclude I’m a demon?
