[photo-3d] Stereo Dinner next week in Manhattan

[Tom Deering <photo-3d@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I don't know what the other folks will bring, but I'm bringing some 
full color stereoscopic  video and animations.   Moving 3D!  The 
Stereo Dinner in Manhattan doesn't usually get this fancy, but I 
haven't been able to attend my own dinner since the NSA convention in 
Phoenix.  I've got some stories to tell, and some cool things to 
show.  Why not join us next Friday, Sept 15?

To sweeten the pot, I will give away a boxed copy of Strata3D, with 
the printed manuals, still in the shrinkwrap.  I'll show some 
animations that will give you an idea of what's possible with it.  I 
wanted to give it as a door prize in Phoenix, but I was foiled.  I'll 
wait till Friday to tell the tale.

We are fortunate to have a core of really great regulars.  Jim Harp 
shoots several formats, and travels internationally.  He usually 
brings some nice slides and prints. Brian Reynolds is an encyclopedic 
stereoscopic genius, with related interests in large format 
photography, astrophotography and lots of other cool things.  Brian 
will just amaze you with the things he says. John Billingham is an 
experimental guy, recently making his own barrier prints and 
home-made lenticulars.  A bona fide camera hacker.

Now add a random assortment of stereo fans.  From around the USA, 
plus China, Poland, England and Brooklyn so far.  People who are just 
starting up, and people who have done it for years. Good people who 
are fun to know.  I never know who will show up.  That's part of the 
fun.

And maybe you'll join us?  It's the people that make this evening 
special.  Sure, I enjoy looking at the slides that people bring, but 
it's the conversations and camaraderie that make it such a pleasure. 
And there's never a big crowd, so it's hard to get left out.

If this is your first time, people usually show up between 6:30 and 
7:30 ,although you can come and go any time.  We have no set agenda, 
we just share some favorite slides and shoot the breeze.  And we 
squeeze in a good meal somehow.  Bring your stereo pictures or 
slides, or look at ours.  There is no membership, and first-timers 
are always cordially welcome.

We do it again in one week: Friday, Sept 15, at La Cocina: 217 West 
85th Street, just off Broadway in Manhattan.  It's a guaranteed good 
time.

Cheers,

Tom Deering
