Stereo Photographer Spotlight
Stereos with an iPhone

All of my photos are taken and processed with an iPhone and various apps. I’ve tried to take a wide range of photos including landscapes, closeups, and abstract objects, however I especially enjoy stereo photos of clouds, and large structures, such as bridges and power pylons. I normally employ the side step or “cha cha” method, but with some strict guidelines to get a balanced photo. For landscape photos, I use the burst feature on the iPhone while moving at high speeds. This method creates a flat background and a miniature look to the photo and eliminates much of the unwanted movement between shots, hence fewer rivalries.

Learn how to sp(l)ice up your stereos with some artful 3D shapes in this headache-free tutorial! All you need is a stereophoto and a graphics program with layers, such as the free online Photopea. For example, with this stereo self-portrait, I am attempting to viscerally convey how my new reading glasses (my first ever) make my head feel!

Stereoscopic History & Collecting
Collecting View-Master: Nostalgia, Semiotics & Weird Stuff
Rebecca Kilbreath

From the 1940s until the early 2000s, View-Master was the way in which most Americans — and many people around the world — were introduced to 3D images. Collector Rebecca Kilbreath will provide a brief overview of View-Master, share 2D images pulled from her extensive collection of reels, and dive into key areas of View-Master content and collecting. It’ll be a mix of nostalgia, semiotics and weird stuff.
