NSA SHOW

[P3D Bill Davis <bd3d@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Neal Anderson asked:

>Would someone please post info (dates, times, location, etc.) about 
>the upcoming NSA show?

I guess that's my cue.  I am on the planning commitee for NSA '96 and 
have a bit of info.  One thing that is important to note is that this 
Convention is open to ANYONE, not just NSA members.  The price is the 
same for non-memmbers, too.

A Not-to-be-Missed 3-D Extravaganza featuring:

Stereo Projection Theater
Three Days of 3-D Slide Programs    August 2, 3 & 4 Lilac Ballroom 
North, Riverside Convention Center
  You are invited to take a journey with us around the world and across 
time.  A festival of spectacular  3-D programs from photographers 
around the world, these are three days of  the finest 3-D photography 
(stereography) on the planet,  all projected on a 21-foot wide screen 
in the air-conditioned comfort of the cavernous Riverside Convention 
Center.  Spanning a century and a half of three-dimensional 
photography, from beautifully rendered and carefully preserved antique 
views that were "the television of the 19th century" to rare 
View-Master treasures to the breathtaking work of  the world's best 
contemporary stereo photographers and on to the rapidly developing  and 
 astounding art of computer-generated images, all these programs are 
projected in full, true, reach-out-and-touch-it 3-D!   ( Polarized 
glasses included with registration).

Confirmed programs at press time include Manly and Lois Koehler's "Wide
Screen Extravaganza", a View-Master presentation from the Stereo Club 
of Southern California's 1st Int'l Exhibition and shows on 
post-earthquake Osaka and Kobe, a voyage to Antarctica, underwater 
macro work,  and much more.  Special Note:  Registrants are invited  to 
bring slides for "Show and Tell", an informal viewing session in the 
Stereo Theatre on Sunday afternoon. Anything you'd like to share will 
be fine, but we'd particularly like to see slides from previous
conventions.
 Friday and Saturday 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM  Sunday 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM.  


	Spotlight Auction  Friday Evening, August 2 Choice antique stereo
views, View Master treasures, a wide variety of cameras and viewers of
all formats, rare and interesting stereo novelties and a large
selection of stereo literature will all be on the bidding block.  Mail
and phone bidding closes four days before the public sale.  For a
catalog, send $10. check or money order to NSA Auction '96, P.O. Box

	Awards Banquet Saturday, 7:00 PM Guest Speaker will be Mr.
William (Bill) Ewald.  Bill,who is retired from a long career at
Eastman Kodak, where he was known as "Mr. Stereo" also taught graduate
Optics courses at the University of Rochester for twenty years.
Involved in the design of both the Kodak Stereo Camera and the
ill-fated Nimslo, Bill also designed and built many ingenious stereo
cameras, projectors and viewers that never saw production.  Bill offers
a unique behind-the-scenes look at the stereo endeavors of a corporate 
giant.

Riverside Convention Center

examples of classic stereo cameras, from Realist to View-Master to 
Kodak Stereo, not to mention Colorist, Wollensak, Verascope, Sputnik
and scores more, alongside merchandisers of modern stereo cameras, 
viewers of all types,books, comic books, images, projectors, mounts and

collection of View-Master reels you had as a kid, or to complete the 
collection of stereographs of your grandfather's grandfather's Civil 
War unit or Fire Brigade or neighborhood (or your neighborhood 100 
years ago).  If you can't find it at this Trade Fair, chances are the 
stereo-related item you're looking for isn't available anywhere!

REGISTER NOW!
We would like to pre-register as many as possible!  Pre-registered is
the way to go, as the manpower required to generate all of the badges,
stickers, packets, etc. on-site really slows things down, and wouldn't
you much rather be watching a slide presentation than standing in a
line waiting to register?  Mail in that entry form today!

Thanks to Bill Tribelhorn,  Dick Twichell and Jim Dusen for their help
in compiling this information.

Bill Davis,  NSA '96


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

An important thing for non-NSA members to note is that these prices are
the same whether you're a member of NSA or not.  Good Deal!

I think this covers it all. NSA members will be receiving 
application/registration forms with the next Stereo World.  Again, if 
you are not a member of the NSA (or if you are and don't wish to put 
your trust in the delivery of the next Stereo World), please send a 
message to me at:

             NSA '96
             942 Gaywood Lane, Webster, NY 14580

Or call 716-671-7707, Fax 716-787-3049 or e-mail:  bd3d@xxxxxxxxxxxxx

and I'll send out a packet.


>I just joined the NSA, but it'll be a while 
>before I receive anything from them.

Oh, probably.  

>Thanks.

Best Regards,
Bill Davis
