Well,

Now that I have given some time to anyone that wanted
to discuss my, "Why is 2d photography better than 3-D"
posting, I will give me opinion.

When I said that 2d isn't better than 3-D what I meant
was that it is not better, or worse.  I look at 2d
photography as serving a different purpose than 3-D. 
It is a different medium, with different streangths
and weaknesses.

Better is a completely reletive term.

I show my strereo slides to an average of 10 new
people a week at parties, work, etc...
Many ask me why everyone is not doing this, because
they are so blown away.  Then I tell them about
getting hold of an old camera or using 2 modern ones,
and all the other ways, and then I continue to explain
about mounting.  A few of the people have decided to
get some equipment and start taking 3-D photos, but
many say, "Oh, I just use disposable cameras, and toss
the pictures in a drawer when I get them back, that
3-D stuff sounds like a lot of work in comparison.".

I dont' think better is proven by how many people use
something.  Many super expensive cars are driven by
only a few, yet could be considered better than an
under $13,000 car.

Again, to me there is no comparison needed.  I choose
3-D for almost all of my photos because I want people
to experience the imagery I create, not just look at
it.
