Yesterday the Stereo Club of Southern California had their first outing 
of 1997 to the UCR/California Museum of Photography. Thanks to Lincoln 
Kamm, our outings director. With their vast collection, starting with 
the 350,000 piece Keystone-Mast collection to bays and bays overflowing 
with almost every type camera imaginable, in three hours we could only 
see the smallest amount of it. They continue to work on adding items to 
their website-http://www.cmp.ucr.edu/
And several anaglyphs up at-http:/www.cmp.ucr.edu/collections/km/stereo/  

In a showcase outside the collections room, they had several military 
type cameras that looked like guns. I believe these were still out from 
their show last year-In Our Sights: Artists Look At Guns. I would not 
want to go into East Los Angeles, because they might be mistaken for 
guns. These change the whole meaning of 'photo shoot'. They did not 
have any stereo cameras in this case. There was one hugh camera, which 
required 70mm film. Member, Abe Perlstein said it looked like a camera 
on steroids. Given a choice between that camera and a realist as a 
weapon...I would take it!
