In these times of economic crisis, the International Exhibitions Standards
Committee will meet on the first of April to approve cost reductions for
stereo exhibitions. Proposed changes include:
1. Increasing the number of submitted stereo slides from four to four and a
half, allowing use of that odd frame at the end of the film roll.
2. Reducing stereo print sizes to allow use of postcard postage rates and
prepaid envelopes.
3. Limiting digital entries to only 16 trillion colors.
4. Adding a new anaglyph print section for low-cost monochrome prints. The
viewing glasses will be clear (white) and black.
5. Floor-mounted phantogram prints will be limited in size; the infinity
point will be no further away than the length of a toilet paper roll.
6. Stereo print exhibitions can continue to use those judges blind in one
eye. However, such judges must be able to blink their good eye at 30 Hz
while moving their heads side-to-side (cha-cha) at the same rate.
7. All exhibition awards will be digital and emailed to the winners, who can
print their award on their favorite paper, t-shirt, or coffee cup.
8. Entry fees can be paid by cash, check, or defaulted mortgage loans.
9. Excess entry fees will be returned, except in California where you will
receive an IOU.
10. Sorry, these changes cannot be debated. They must be passed now so that
500 million stereo photographers will not be put out of work.
