It is more common that you would think. I was at a talk the other week by a chap working on hologram displays and he revealed 3% of the population cannot see in 3D at all. Some, like me, from birth, others due to illness/accident. 24% of people can't see the 3D in films using the 3D glasses you get in cinemas. It isn't awkward at all. Apart from parking I have never found it a problem, though it may explain why I never won Wimbledon. Sometimes it is of use. When I look through a microscope I can see things in 3D, or what my brain interprets as 3D. I have the perfect accent for conflict resolution, shame about the personality. | |

With great reluctance I've decided to hide some responses which were off topic. The suggestion was made that my OP was an extended metaphor about cheating, in an attempt at self justification. The thought behind the blog was indeed partly triggered by a few posts on recent threads about how some people see things in black and white, (as well as by some of my occasional readings in cognitive psychology) but the weblog isn't about trying to prove a point, nor to respond to them directly, nor is it an extended metaphor. It is simply musings on colour perception, triggered by but not responding to those posts. And as I said in the OP, I'd rather any discussion keep on topic and as courteous as possible, rather than bringing up potentially inflammatory subjects.

Just spotted this now, so apologies for not responding sooner. In response to your comment on my images, the main reason I choose to produce monochrome images, or rather that I don't produce colour images (although I have from time to time depending on the image) is that I feel leaving the colour out of an image creates more of a mystery to the image. With the addition of high contrast, dark shadows and a lack of colour, the viewer has to fill the rest in. I know, the effort of using ones imagination.. sigh! lol! But I think an image is so much more powerful when your mind has to fill in the blanks, plus I think there is more of an appeal there as each image can be personalised somewhat. I know I fail to achieve this in the majority of my images, but am doing it more and more. This is the road I wish to travel. But brightly light images where everything is put on front of you does not appeal to me at all.
