An Invitati09 to Share Your Best Stereo Images ASSIGNMENT~=D with the World! New Assignment: "Stereo Impact" hile we select the final entries in the "Weather" Wassignment for the next couple of issues, we hope people will start going through their files (or drawers of yet-to-be-mounted slides or prints) with the new "Stereo Impact" assignment in mind. This one's wide open for ANY subject that truly required stereographic imaging to be under- stood or appreciated by those who didn't see it in person. In other words, those things or places that inspire comments along the lines of "Wow! This was just made for stereo!" The best of these are shots "Ice Chamber" by Michael McKinney of Hawthorne, CA may look like it was taken in an which are not just greatly ice cave but it's actually the back side of a waterfall, frozen solid in the winter of 1994 enhanced by stereo, but which lit- near Teluride, CO. When Michael and his wife hiked up the canyon to the falls, they dis- erally depend on stereo to make covered two ice climbers on it. visual sense or to reveal more than a confusing clutter of elements. (Views of complex machinery or dense, tangled forests are often among these sorts of images.) Nearly everybody who's shot even a few rolls of stereos has at least one view that could qualify here. So dig it out, send it in, and make your own Stereo Impact Statement! I Deadline for the stereo Impact Assignment is January 24, 1997. S&D Enterprises of Zion, IL, will send one box of their No. 3300 EMDE stereo slide binders to each stereo'yra- pher whose work appears on the A~si~ynrnent3-0 page, starting with the current Assi'ynment. The Rules: As space allows (and depending on the response) judges will select for publication in each issue at least two of the best views submitted by press time. Rather than tag images as first, second or third place win- ners, the idea will be to present as many good stereographs as possible from among those submitted. Anyone and any image in any print or "Blizzard of 1996" by Morris B. Holbrook of New York captures the weather in both the slide format is eligible.
