[photo-3d] People's exchange anyone?

["Dr. George A. Themelis" <drt-3d@xxxxxxx>]

Seeing how well Mark's idea is received, I am thinking of
starting a stereo slide exchange with a "Human Interest"
(focus on people) topic.

>From my shooting in the modeling sessions of the PSA
conferences, I have accumulated lots of good pictures
of models, mostly attractive female models smiling at you :)
I also have many good family pictures.  Anyone interested
in getting some of these in exchange for yours?  A stereo
picture of young DrT in 1988 must be worth a lot
today because they are so very few in existence.  Same
for DrT in 2000 for the year 2015.

Bill Walsh likes to shoot models, mostly without any clothes :)
I think he has good stuff to trade, but is he interested in 
family pictures too?  I remember a few folios back in SSA he
submitted a picture of his wife and pets.  I loved this picture!
I would love to trade something like that for a picture of
my family.  But I would not mind his model pictures
either :)

DrDave is shooting various subjects inside and outside
caves, nature closeups, etc.  When he gets my Gamma votes
he must be wondering why I am not voting for his entries
very often.  Now, in another folio (I think it was Alpha)
he had  a picture of his caving group inside a cave working
on a project to benefit bats.  I loved this "environmental"
human interest picture. As a matter of fact, I voted for it
(he does not know that... well, now he does).  I am sure
he is wondering "DrT voted for that one and not my close
ups of spiders or ice formations?"  Well yes!  I like pictures
of people.  I would love to have that one in my collection
showing DrDave and friends.

My point is that I find value in people's picture that others
might not.  These are relatively easy to take, but most
people do not even think of them as good "exhibition
material".  Maybe it is not very good projection material
but it is a great viewer material.  And of potential
historical & collectible value.

Within a year or so we have lost 3 great names in our stereo
community.  How many stereo pictures of them exist now?
A slide exchange program like the one I am proposing
will encourage the creation of such pictures. 

Anyway, I would like to know how many people have an
interest in a "human interest" stereo slide exchange, operating
in the same principles (possibly a bit more relaxed rules) like 
Mark's city views exchange.

Let me know...
