3D images
These pictures require the use of analglyph, or RED and GREEN glasses. Use the 'green' (usually more of a turquoise) filter on the right eye.
A full sized model of the MER rovers at the jet propulsion Laboratory, which appears behind many a television reporter these days. 196K.
Another view of the full sized Rover model, this one from the side. The lighting was very poor for such photos. 396K
The camera of the full scale model is detailed here. 56K
A reduced scale model of the MER Rover, also at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. 200K
The 'scan platform' of the Voyager
spacecraft, from a stereo pair photographed from the full sized
mockup at the Von Karmen Auditorium at Jet Propulsion Laboratory
in Pasadena, California. 144K
A side view of the Voyager 'scan platform',
showing more of the placement of the various cameras as covered
in the actual thermal coverings. Most pictures of Voyager leave
these out, but this is how it actually looks. 200K
An engineering mockup of the Mars Pathfinder
lander in it's 'sandbox' room at JPL. The spacecraft and rover
models differ in some details from the flight versions, but much
information on both can be seen in stereo which may help artists
and modelers dealing with this subject. 190K
The Mars Polar Lander spacecraft
mockup at JPL as it was exibited at Von Karman Auditorium, opposite
from the Voyager model shown above. 148K
A detail of the top of the Mars Polar
Lander spacecraft. 52K
Digital photos taken during a shuttle
mission to the 'ISS' space station were used to make this 3D image.

The 36 inch refracting telescope of
Lick Observatory is the second largest such telescope ever built.
It still provides stunning views of the heavens. 60K.
A pair of Apollo 17 photographs taken from displaced
viewpoints were combined into this stereo image. 736K
Photos shot in rapid sequence from
an airliner are an excellent way to capture stereo pairs of cloud
formations. 76K
A collection of ariel photos of the
High Sierras, taken in the first half of the 20th century, were
in a collection of many prints offered for sale in an antique
show after the estate of the deceased photogropher was dispersed.
Two were seen to form a nice stereo pair as I went through the
pile of prints. This is the result of scanning that pair. 102K.
A pair of pictures taken with my new
Nikon digital camera were used to capture the vines loosely wrapped
around a palm tree. 224K.
Two pictures taken of insects in amber at the Houston
Museum of Natural Science were combined to form this stereo pair,
giving a glimpse of a vanished world preserved in a glob of tree
sap millions of years ago. 100K.
This is a computer graphic image, made
of 2 frames of an animated flyby of Eta Carina, an active star
expelling bubbles of glowing gases. 136K
Somehow Carter Emmart, A.K.A. 'Mistress
Barbie' managed to hold still long enough for me to shoot a decent
stereo pair with my digital camera at 'Burning Man'. 84K
A stereo pair of digital camera
pictures of a rather intimidating looking toy making an appearence
at the 1999 Burning Man festival. 56K
At Burning Man 2000 I saw an amazing
glow wire sculpture of a starfish, delicately modeled in many
shining multicolored coils. 116K
Burning Man 2001 featured many outstanding
works of art, but this giant wooden 'mausoleum' was the most impressive
thing on the Playa that year. 280K.
Also at Burning Man 2001 was this large
lion sculpture. 108K.
A closeup stereo pair of an unusual
flower in my back yard. 296K.
Burning Man 2002 featured the second monumental ephemeral temple by Pete Best and company. This view of the facade suggests the multilayered complexity anf the thinness of the walls. 312K.
Another striking creation seen at Burning Man 2002 was this unique vehicle which rode on two great wheels with the seat and contrils hanging between them. A massive speaker and a flame thrower extends from the sides. 104K.
