Spoken by a true artist. There does seem to be an awful lot of theory as of 
late. Nothing wrong with that in general, but it does tend to discourage 
those who just love the medium and want to get on with taking pictures. No 
theory in the world is as good as seeing a great 3d shot, and to accomplish 
that basically takes a lot of physical practice and testing. So put down 
the pens Guys and Gals,get out there and take pictures  !!!!!!

I'll be out there in the Rockies tomorrow with my Stereo Pro!
