3D photos of the Beatles????

       Take a look at the Life Magazine Beatles Reunion Special
       if you can find it. (On the cover, its says "Display until 
       December 11, 1995), so it should still be available.

       On pages 48 - 49, there are a bunch of pictures of the 
       Beatles, that were apparently taken with a 35mm camera with a 
       motor drive.  The pictures in the upper right hand corner of 
       page 49 (Frames 5A and 6A) can easily be fused wide-eyed into 
       a stereo pair. There is only slight retinal rivalry, which is 
       caused by a change of position of McCarntey's eyebrows, in 
       one of the pictures.  (I imagine this could be fixed with a 
       little retouching.) - The pictures are a little less than 3 
       inches wide, so it would be a simple matter to cut them out, 
       and mount them for viewing in a Holmes stereo-scope.  Some of 
       the other frames will also produce good 3D pairs, of one or 
       more of the Beatles. (For example, frames 30A and 31A, will 
       produce a good 3D image of John, when viewed cross-eyed.)

       I understand Reel 3-D's Susan Pinsky, has been looking for a 
       3D picture of the Beatles for years.  This is the closest 
       thing I've seen to such a picture.
