P3D Yet another bio

My 3-D life story:

Another 1952 born 3-D nut, it seems to be the modal 
birth year here. I always loved 3-D, from Tru-View 
and comics, to View-Master. I went to a one room 
school house in rural Michigan where I spent hours 
looking at Keystone views. I missed the 1954 3-D 
movie boom, but was very moved by "The Mask". In my 
teens I collected lenticulars and 3-D comics.  I saw 
the "Stewardesses" when I as eighteen. I bought the 
occasional hologram and anaglyphic comic or magazine
until 1984, when  I bought the book "Amazing 3-D" and 
became aware of the existence of Realist format cameras. 
In 1988, while writing my dissertation, I bought my first 
stereo camera, a Kodak. 

Today I have three working Kodaks, a Realist 3.5, Realist 45, 
FED Stereo, TDC Vivid, TDC Colorist I, Delta, two Nimslos, 
Loreo, twinned Pentax P-30s, and a hacked Argus C-3 stereo.
The FED and the Realist 45 see the most use. I also have three
hand viewers, a TDC 116, and a hacked Argus stereo projector. 
I'll spare you the list of video and computer 3-D stuff! I 
currently maintain two 3-D web galleries (Burning Man 3-D and 
the Oakland Camera Club).
