Statement

Capturing the sense of place is something that I have been intrigued with since studying photography in college. I was introduced to stereo photography shortly after graduating, which I found to be the perfect medium for my exploration. In playing with different presentation methods, the grayscale anaglyphic image has resonated with me the most. I am drawn to the paper 3D glasses that one may find in a 50’s comic book; the need to wear these to view the image forces the observer to engage in the process while the novelty can evoke a feeling of a simpler time in the viewer’s life. Then the magic begins. The viewer enters the image and is able to explore the scene in ‘life-like’ 3D. I prefer my images to be small ~ hand-held ~ to give the viewer the ability to truly explore; look at the view at different angles and watch the image ‘bend’ as they attempt to look around an object.
I focus much of my work on historic buildings and neighborhood landscapes of the northwest, with an effort to put the viewer into a scene that gives the illusion of an unknown era.

Questions and Answers

How do you make your photographs?
My images are created using a pair of photographs, with an image for the left and right eyes. The two images are then combined via a computer (using Photoshop®) to create the final single photograph.
What kind of cameras do you use?
Most of my early images, including all the images for Pike Place Market, were shot with two 1-magapixel digital 'toy' cameras (approximately the size of a pack of gum each). I build rigs that mount the cameras side-by- side at approximately the same distance as your eyes. The rigs include a bubble-level on back to aid in keeping shots in-line. Resently, I have also been shooting with Fuji's FinePix REAL 3D W3 camera.
Do you sell you cameras/rigs?
Not at the moment. However, if you are interested, please contact me and I'll let you know if they become available.
How long have you been making 3D images?
I started getting involved in stereo photography as I was finishing college (1994).
Where can I learn more about making 3D photographs?
Here are a few links to help you get started. Feel free to email me if you have questions.
