#I've hardly seen any modern work at all (only what's on the web, and never

#As a newbie myself, not only to 3d@xxxx, but to 3D in general, 
#I'm going to be relying on people's comments about my shots, 
#having never had anyone in the 3D community look at my stuff yet.
#I think people may be more forthcoming with helpful, specifically 
#technical comments  if we designate ourselves as beginners.  

So far I'm getting 100% feedback in favor of retaining the "newbie"
class, so as far as I'm concerned we'll keep the classes as Elliott
set them up - 

"newbie" - less than 6 months (or even 1 year - no big deal to me)
"amateur" - more than 6mo - 1yr experience

Again, the voting is for FUN ONLY - please don't let it discourage
you from entering! You'll get valuable feedback / critiques of your
images, and see some great work of others, plus see an unprecedented
array of 3D formats from View Master up through medium format - color,
B&W, prints, slides, lenticular prints, computer generated stereo, 
etc. etc. etc.


Don't miss this!

#Ummm...  I like this Feb. 28 idea about 13  days better.  

Feedback is also 100% that my suggested Feb 15 is too soon. I don't want
to rush people, but also don't want to put this out too far.

Feb 29 it is, then, unless I get some compelling reasons from someone
that it should be otherwise.

I'll put together an "entry form" asap and we can get started...

Joel.
