P3D Re: Curious Deep Math Tale

[fj834@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (Dr. George A. Themelis)]

Andrea (the happy bumblebee) Blair, like you, I disregard measurements 
and just take pictures.  But, apparently unlike you, I have a natural 
curiocity about how things work.  The geometry and theory behind stereo 
photography is fascinating, even if it is not needed to take good pictures.
The biggest reward behind derving fundamental stereo photographic formulas
is not that they give you a tool to take pictures but that they make you
aware of what is involved, or "how things work".  Deriving and undestanding
theory and formulas actually makes some people (like myself) less inclined 
to use them!

So, if the theory or formulas do not interest you, just skip the messages.  

Thank you!
