Dr. T-
I give up......I'll just buy my frosted bulbs directly from you. I tried a
few things....but no success.
First, I contacted Jack Frost....but he gave me a "cold-frosty
reception".....even after I told him I was a friend of yours......he said "Go
to that Virtual Boy Themelis, he is the man for frosted bulbs... and leave
me alone ....you have no depth at all!!" ....next attempt.....
The next attempt...I contacted the family of the late poet Robert
Frost....and although an image backlit by a frosted bulb is "poetry to the
eyes".....the Frost family thought my prose to "not have the right
meter"......whatever they meant by that.....I mean I always use a light
meter....and occasionally use Dr. T's Chumsuk LED auto-leveller so that if my
shots are tilted....it throws the audience in to a temporary false sense of
level....and then I am an accepted member of traditional stereography....no
hassles, no frosty responses...no rejection.
Finally, I went to a local auto dealer here in Boston....Frost Motors....and
they did in fact have frosted bulbs.....but they are too large for my
viewer....and they were soooo expensive....better to put a bunch of those on
the front of a Range Rover or something....for off road use....and boy those
Jeeps, Range Rovers, Land Rovers....and all terrain vehicles are all the rage
now....you gotta have one so that if you have kids....they are protected from
the other guy who plows in to you in his Range Rover......whatever happened
to the environment....these vehicles are all gas hogs....the oil comanies are
cleaning up our dollars while we are choking the planet and hogging the
oil....now that frosts a few of us!
Oh well...back to scratchbuilding a 4-D Silver Screen with auto level built
in for $2.00 total cost....John B....help me out! Jon G
