Re: [photo-3d] Re: My very first stereo picture

Here is another first stereo picture for the archives.

I bought my Stereo-Realist in March 1952 just before I left Boston MA on
a business trip to Rangoon, Burma. My first picture en route was of a
clocktower overlooking a canal in Amsterdam, Netherlands. The buildings
are slightly overexposed and the flower stalls in the foreground are
slightly underexposed but the colors of the flowers are still brilliant.
Bob Vaughan is probably the only other person on this list who has seen
it.

During the summer of 1951 I was a member of an engineering educational
mission to Japan with 14 other faculty members from universities around
the country. One had taken along a Stereo-Realist, while I had a
nondescript single lens camera that over-exposed everything. Several
months after we returned, he gave us a show of his gorgeous and exciting
slides and I was hooked.

I've never used anything else since then.
