The O&A Awards...

[P3D Elliott Swanson <elliott@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Expo2 stereo pairs, part 2:

We projected the slides that had projection allowed. The impact of the 
projected image altered my reactions to a number of the slides, so this 
list is the material that got the Oooooo and Ahhhhh Award from the 
audience: Board House in Skull Valley (Ken Luker); Curious Whitetail 
(Allan Carrano); Chicago Twilight (Becky Karas); Light Painting (Bert 
Noel); A Different Perspective#2 [this one is a bear to project because 
of Berts experimental fisheye lens, but I finally got it!](Bert Noel); 
Water Lillies (Martha Ann McCann); Toad on My Finger (Dave Huddle); Star 
of David (Eddie Hosey); Venice 95 (Don Radovich); Obs-Binnenstad (Morris 
Keesan); The Broadway Bicycle School #1 (Matthew George); Hyperboloid 
(Martin Schub); Boy and Machine (Martin Schub); The Mary Rose (Bob 
Aldridge); In the Tershana (Bob Aldridge); Summer Cat (Mark & Melody 
Buchanan); Portrait of a Building (George Themelis); Pasta Bunnies 
[vertical misalignment of image made projection difficult, but they liked 
it!] (Lauren Michaels); Beehive (George Gioumousis); The Turtle Lady 
LeRoy Barco

Word of advice to people planning to have their work projected-- either 
hone your eye by mounting a thousand slides (akin to folding a thousand 
origami cranes), or use a gauge!

Also, one I'd overlooked in personal favorites in yesterdays post was Jazz 
Trio a b/w Scala image by Stephen Kearney. However, this slide needs to 
get remounted in a 4p mask, or else some careful tweaking in a 5p RBT. 
Great image.

-------------

I should mention that Don Lopp and Joel Alpers received the O&A Award for 
their 6x6 slides (not projected).

I'm amazed by the trust and generosity of the people who contributed 
hardware for expo2. George Themelis put in one of his modified Red Button 
viewers that worked and appeared brand new. Ray Hannisan-- at least I 
think it must have been Ray-- provided a 3dTV corp field sequential video 
decoder and lcd glasses.

And yet again, thanks Joel, its great.
