I know the feeling.  I felt this way after getting back the film from
my San Francisco trip in January.

"The new baby" makes little sense as a pretext for abandoning stereo
photography.  That's one of the best reasons to take up the hobby.
Given teh choice of Realist slides, flattie prints, or 8mm video, I'll
take the Realist slides.  THey look better and last longer than the
other formats.
