The distilled wisdom of what is done and what is not done in stereo 
photography has grown to what it is through scores of years of trial 
and error, criticism and daring.  If one wants to do stereo 
photography that is accepted as mainstream and "correct," it can be 
done by "following the rules."  Anything else will probably trigger 
criticism from the old guard.  Anything else will possibly be labeled 
as "bad."

When Brahms ruled music, the rules of good music were similarly well
known, so when Mahler experimented with new sonorities, they sounded

Perhaps stereoscopy is in a similar condition.  Break some rules, and 
there will be those who say, "THAT is ONE rule that may NEVER be 
broken, even for art--it just is BAD."  Remember Mahler, Schoenberg,
