3d picture of the Beatles??

       I recently mentioned that there are some pictures of the 
       Beatles in the Life Magazine Beatles Reunion Special, which 
       can be viewed in 3D.  - They were apparently taken with a 
       camera with a motor drive, which moved a little to the right 
       or left between shots. The effect is much better than what you 
       would expect to get from using adjoining frames of movie film, 
       because these are posed portraits, and the Beatles held fairly 
       still between shots. So that you can see what I'm talking 
       about, I've scanned in the best (for 3D) pair of pictures, and 
       uploaded them to my ftp directory.  I did a little 
       manipulation to correct for some movement of McCartney's 
       eyebrows between shots, but otherwise did nothing to alter the 
       images.

       There are 3 Beatles files in my directory: 3dbeatle.gif, 
       3dbeatxi.gif and 3dbeatrb.gif, which are wide-eyed, cross-eyed
       and red-blue Anaglyph versions of these pictures.

       To get these images, if you have an Internet shell account, 
       type:

       ftp ftp.netcom.com
       (Then log in as anonymous)

       Then type: cd /pub/fj/fjf/
       Then type: binary
       Then type: get (followed by the name of the file you want)
       Then type: bye

       Then download to your own computer.

       Hope some of you here will enjoy these pictures.  I only wish
       I had the original images to work with, so that the resolution 
       would be better.
