Video interview about stereo photography

I like stereo photography, though I admit I’ve never shot any myself. My first experience seeing it was at my neighbor’s house. I was locked out of my house in the winter as a kid and the old guy next door let me come over to his house. He showed me all kinds of wonderful things, one of which was his stereo picture collection and his viewer. That was over 30 years ago and the memory is still alive, though he has died. I was just thinking about that tonight and totally got myself in the mood to research it. Like many things in life that I’m interested in and don’t have time for, I really have to do this.

Video about 3D photography from Wired

Here’s a nice short video by wired about 3D photography. I like the slide viewer and the dual Canon EOS Elan stereo camera setup. Not too in depth but good.

Video of news photographer Arthur Fellig, better known as Weegee

This video is a nice audio of news photographer Weegee with his accompanying photographs.

This pioneer of news photography talks about getting into the business, his subject matter, and his techniques.

This is a must watch video for anyone interested in news or street photography.
