Admit it, guys. One appealing factor to 3D, is its ESOTERIC value. Let's face it, if EVERYTHING was in PERFECT 3D; TVs, movies, posters, junk mail, Granny's disposable camera prints - a few of us would probably
be in our basements experimenting with pinhole tintypes or something! :-)
(I'd still like to pioneer large-scale Lippmann color photography assemblage, if I
didn't mind poisoning myself!)

At least my few wedding jobs paid for my cameras. It's the novelty and
rarity, (as much as my Superior Photography Skills <g>), that sells it and
makes it fun. I sometimes regret selling my Realist, with it's 3 lens, dials, flip
hood and chrome gizmos. It looked pretty exotic to the 2D hoi poloi, who always
mistook me for a "professional." :-)
