YOKOHAMA — Skill and high-quality equipment are not essential for successful photography. In fact, you don't even need to be able to see the subject.

"What's important is to take pictures with your heart," says Hiroshi Suga, a professional photographer and member of the Japan Professional Photographers Society.

Proving his point, photos by 23 students from the Yokohama City Special Support School for the Visually Impaired are now on show at the "Kids Photographers — They are Geniuses!" exhibition at the Japan Newspaper Museum in Yokohama.
