A shot of my brother Greg on a trip to Kyuquot in BC. I love the ability of stereo to resolve the “I’ve been away for a week fishing” look 🙂

Train
Liked the smoke and steam in stereo.
Erik in Water
An environmental portrait of my son Erik when he was young. Finding crabs under the rocks.
Jim’s 2CV
A shot of Jim, the proud owner of a Citroen 2DV on our way back from the big Citroen meeting.
Bowlus Joshua Park
Another show with my 1935 Bowlus Road Chief on our recent trip from Toronto to California and back. Loved this area of Joshua Tree National Park near Palm Springs. I did alot of climbing over the rock for different angles. Sorry the rock is slightly out of focus. I shot f22 but I guess not enough DOF. I was shoting most mono (sorry). For those that are intrigued by my trailer fascination check my Bowlus pages for some other mono (sorry) pics of the trip.
3D World f22 at 1/60 Tripod Provia F
New York Parade
I was hanging out the window of my hotel for this shot. It was a St. Patrick day parade staging grounds. Lot of action, a complex image that I feel is stereo photograpy’s strength. Somehow this image reminds me of Paul Shay’s photographs, on one hand it is clearly street photography but the subject somehow seemed staged, sort of like Jeff Wall’s photography.
3D World Provia handheld (which is rare for me)… I was worried I was going to drop the camera on someone.
Iceland Waterfall
This shot is of one of the many waterfalls in Iceland. I liked how the light hit the water. If you have a bright viewer you can see the rockface of the cliff in the background.
3D World Tripod, probably F16 at 1/125 my usual on Provia F 100
Ships of the Desert
My travel trailer called a Bowlus Road Chief was built in 1935 and the house called “Ship
of the Desert” was built in 1936, both of the Streamline Moderne movement. I set up this shoot early in the morning but didn’t get out the 3D camera until the sun came up. For those interested in the weird trailer you can find information at my site www.openthinkinc.com/bowlus
Using my 3DWorld probably f16 at 1/125 Provia F

Kyuquot Seaweed
Kyuquot Starfish
Treehouse
Kyuquot Fog
- Kyuquot Seaweed
I took this with my trusty 3D World with Provia F probably at f11 or f16 which is my standard f stop. I always use a tripod so exposure was 1/8 or so since it was early in the morning. I have been shooting seaweed at low tide for about three years now and it always fascinates me the saturation, colour and abstract design. Kyuquot is a very small village on the west coast of Vancouver Island in BC where I spend my summers. There are no road and everyone only uses boats to get around as we live on 11 different islands. There is a post office, general store, clinic, hotel, small restaurant, and boat through espresso bar… what more do you want?
- Kyuquot Starfish
I also took this with my 3D World with Provia F probably at f11 or f16 at 1/15 or so. I found this little starfish at low tide and found it arms reminded me of Andre Kertesz, Satiric Dancer.
- Treehouse
I took this with my Rolleidoscop with Provia F not sure of the exposure. This is a treehouse room in a unique hotel that is in the trees in Southern Oregon, kind of like Swiss Family Robinson. The place is called Out’n’About Treehouse Treesort for those interested in an interesting adventure:)
- Kyuquot Fog
3D World with Provia F probably at f8 or f11, exposure was 1/2 as it was dark. I love when the fog rolls in and it is best to stay put and photograp.
