People normally see in 3D. Ted, your growing up, basically seeing in 2D, could indeed be viewed as a photographic advantage. Your vision and your profession certainly matched (scientifically) very well. HOWEVER... I strongly suspect that if you had normal 3D vision, your photographic vision would be just as acute. It comes from within. It's not just seeing in 2D. It's the artistic and visual dexterity that comes from within your brain. Not the fact that you have only one good eye. It's you Ted. Jim
