******  You should give serious thought to using the services of Fiso
Stereographs and have your images made into barrier strip images. These are
very impressive, easy to present in a gallery type setting and you won't
have to 2D-ize any of your excellent 3D work. I think it best to NOT cater
to the 2D crowd. Far better to educate them to what we know and agree is the
better medium. It's simply illogical to use a 2D image to persuade or
encourage an enjoyment of 3D. There is little comparison there to make. If
it's 3D, and all they have to do is look, then your artisitic qualities can
be relatively complete in the way you envisioned it to be when you made your
images.

If you haven't seen the samples that Jason Shen was circulating to many of
the group's members, I'm sure he can arrange to get one to you in the near
future. They are very worth seeing. I noticed that they have to be viewed
for best effect from a distance of at least 4 to 5 feet. They can arrange to
manufacture them with a closer viewing angle, but for public exhibition,
this distance does seem to be the right one.
