An example of my images is in the latest copy of Stereoscopy (the one 
with the baby praying mantis on the cover). Look at the article in the 
middle of the magazine for stereo pairs. What do you think?

Another example is the PSA Journal, January 1997, cover and photos 
inside. I think PSA printed the pairs switched L&R, maybe for 
free-viewing? I could not see most of them with a viewer.

Yet another example is at:  http://members.aol.com/psastereo/  in 
Members Gallery 1, "Newly Hatched Cicada."

My question: Does this give accurate representation on the image since 
someone else scanned it and positioned it on the real or virtual page, 
or can you tell a crappy shot when you see one?

John, you are very generous with your compliments and praise, but I am 
not so sure I am worthy of it. What is "considerable experience"? I have 
been doing 2-D photography for 20 years (and I've almost got the hang of 
it! {;>) ), but I've only been doing stereo for just over 3 years, and I 
still don't have a clue (well, maybe a little) about what I'm doing. All 
I know is I take the shot (macro, normal, distant) and most work and 
some don't. I know the basic pricipals (yes, I have read several 
articles and portions from books on stereo) but I wouldn't call myself 
an expert. I represent the more carefree attitude towards my craft. It 
works; maybe I shouldn't question it.

Andrea
