Digital Stereoview Exchange

The Digital Stereoview Exchange 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.

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
  • tissue views or transparencies (if you can figure out how to get them to work within the standard).
• 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 but thin enough to fit  easily in a "standard" adapter, approximately <1/32".
• Clear, archival sleeves which were once encouraged are no longer suggested, the flipbook serves this purpose.
• Views submitted on cards in the APEC exchange will be acceptable. Additional APEC submissions that are already in digital stereoview format will be discouraged because they will result in duplications for existing APEC participants.
• 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.
• 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.
