Relics, In A Gold Country

Posted on December 28, 2020

That the past is different from the present is its foremost attraction. We know about the past through history, memory, and relics.

Experimenting with Lens Blur: the Burnside 35mm Lens

Matching Color From a Vintage Stereo Card

Posted on April 21, 2018February 24, 2022

The stereo camera coupled with the stereoscope is one of the 19th century’s most unique inventions. The stereography extended the visual reach of photography and unlike any other photographic process or invention, through the vivid illusion of three-dimensionality, “captured the visual essence of nature.”[1] In the presentation above, I demonstrate how to use Photoshop’s Match…
