My father seemed impressed with the prints from my lenticular camera.
Then a few weeks later he found out that he has cataracts, and one eye
in particular is almost completely gone.

It will be interesting to see his reaction to the prints after his eyes
are fixed.  The only 3D he would have seen in them so far is by rocking
them from side to side.

As a side issue, it's typical of my timing that I got him a book for
Christmas.
