Well there *were* time machines.  They was those Realists and Kodaks.
I assume those guys took all those pictures with the idea that folks
would be interested in seeing them years later.  So why are they so
hard to see?  Aside from the 3D Hollywood book with a tiny fraction of
Lloyd's shots, and Jayne in occasional "full color" anaglyph, where
can a person in the non-California part of the world get a gander at
all that history?  Who owns the stereos these folks took and how do we
get them out of closets and into the public eye?  What has been done
so far?  I'm guessing maybe Mr Zone has the inside story.  It's a
story that I'd like to see updated on P3D. :-) 

Bruce (looking for historical "astro"stereographs) Springsteen
