Post: the eyes are different

Just something I was thinking about. I guess it was MacCracken's book a few years ago that initially inspired this line of thinking. He was a medical doctor who got training from Bates and taught his ...

Thread: What about Stereograms?
Post: Re: What about Stereograms?

Wow, that "focus" image you have on the top of the page is incredible! It confuses my eyes every time I look at it, but in a nice way! I might just print that out and hang it up. Where did you get it?...
