Not mainstream, yet still magnificent! GGSS 3-D movie holiday party, December 8, 2019.

Was 3D TV invented by "smart people out of ideas?" Enthusiasts like us still rave over new and classic 3D content. And I'll take cheap, lightweight glasses over a huge, isolating VR rig. I wouldn't even call 3D "tech" -- it predates photography.

I'm reading many "worst tech of the decade" articles that include 3-D TV. No explanation for the continued release of new and classic Blu-Ray 3D discs, nor the joy shared by audiences at GGSS 3-D movie parties. Of course, a 3-D TV is unmatched for presenting stereo photography.

On sharing stereo, and an ode to freeviewing.

Oversized, unlabeled cards. Stereoscopes with crummy optics and wobbly cardholders. A headache-inducing experience at the @oaklandmuseumca Andrew J. Russell exhibit. When will museums learn how to properly display #stereophotography?
