Digital Stereoview Exchange

The Digital Stereoview Exchange Club (DSEC) is an outgrowth of APEC, the Amateur Photographic Exchange Club. It's purpose is for participants to exchange 4" x 6" digital stereoviews that have been made in accordance with the Thorpe Digital Stereoview Standard. Every 3 months participants submit enough prints so all the participants receive a copy of all the views. These are bound together in a flipbook and mailed back. The flipbook is yours to keep.

Guidelines

• Submissions will conform to the Thorpe Digital Stereoview Standard and shall be 4x6 inches in size.
• Any type of stereo image is acceptable. It is hoped that this openness will encourage creativity. Types of submissions can include, but not be limited to:
  • photographic images
  • computer generated images
  • 2D to 3D conversions
  • original artwork
  • "snapshots of home and family", these do not have to be arty shots
  • self portraits
  • copies of old stereoviews
• All media are acceptable. Photographic prints are encouraged because of their "shelf life", but xerographic, ink jet, or other currently  unanticipated media are also acceptable. You are the best judge of whether your submission is of adequate quality to be fair to the other participants.
• Thickness of images should be robust enough to assure some durability Approximately <1/32".
• Clear, archival sleeves which were once encouraged are no longer suggested, the flipbook serves this purpose.
• Participants can submit any number of images in any exchange, but do so realizing that other members may only be submitting a single image. More than one image is your gift to the group. When the number of participants is nearing 24, additional views are not encouraged.
• All participants will be encouraged to submit a self portrait sometime. Hopefully, this will be your first submission so everyone will know what you look like (not required however).
• Scheduled submission dates are March 1, June 1, September 1, and December 1. A certain amount of leeway is allowed in the deadline, but the sooner everyone sends in their views, the sooner the flipbooks can be sent to you.
• Please ship views to:

      Robert Thorpe
      3247 Bever Cir SE
      Cedar Rapids  IA  52403-3164
   

• Please include $7.00 for postage and a flipbook. Same price for Canada. Costs for mailing flipbooks to locations outside of North America vary. Try to send the amount of the postage on the package you receive plus an additional $3.00 for the flipbook. This fee can be included with your photos, mailed separately, or sent to my paypal account, sales@classicstereoviews.com (account name could change in the future). International participants should note that there is no fee for currency conversion if you pay by Paypal.
• Participants can send their views any way they want to; priority, first class, UPS, etc.
• All domestic participants will have their flipbooks shipped to them by regular mail. Foreign participants will have their views sent the least expensive way possible.

If you are interested in participating please send an email to RJ Thorpe, thorpe@skep.com.
