I'm not worried in the least, and I should hope you don't hold it against
me.  I actually feel privileged that I'm able to get involved in something
like this considering, as George commented, it does take a little
disposable income to be able to play around.  I'm fortunate enough to have
a stable job at such a young age, and it comes in handy when looking to
expand on my hobbies (photography being one of them).  And stereography
excites me a lot.  I'm looking forward to trying some untraditional
compositions, as well as traditional ones as is Edward Hosey.  Regarding
Edward's 1.5:1 ratio of piercings to stereo cameras, since I only have one
Realist so far, my ratio is 2:1, so sorry Ed, I have you beat.  As far as
absolute numbers though, you've got me there....  I hope noone holds that
against us either....  Just kidding really, I know noone would do that,
and I don't think I fall into the stereotypical (no pun intended) image of
one with piercings, but I have quite a few friends who would.  Oh well,
I'm just eager to learn as much as I can from everyone so that I can get
people my age interested in stereography.  It certainly is worth spreading
the news about...

FWIW,

Adam
