Style is only one feature that can identify the maker.  Tools and subject
matter are two more.  My only concern is about the subject matter.  While
it is nice to see people specializing in certain subjects and producing
wonderful results in their area using their tools of choice, it is a good
idea IMO to accept the challenge and try something different.  How many
pictures of glassware or close-ups of flowers can a person take?  Variety
is the trademark of the good stereo photographer for me. -- George Themelis
