Stereo of a 3-D 4×5 pin hole camera from issue 25-4 article by Paul Gentry<\/p><\/div>\n

Toronto<\/strong>. Continuing the theme of volume 25, Editor Lansdale reprinted an article by Paul Gentry titled “THE STEREO PINHOLE: A ‘Hands On’ Approach to 3-D Photography”. The article and illustrations are courtesy of the NSA.<\/p>\n

Paul begins, “Pinhole and stereo photography have both been around for a long\u00a0time \u2013 almost since the first photographs were made. Yet today they\u00a0are often thought of as little more than novelties, mere footnotes in\u00a0photo history.<\/p>\n

“This of course, as everyone involved with these mediums can tell you, is hardly the case. They are very much alive and\u00a0well and, in the hands of more and more people, are becoming vital\u00a0art forms.<\/p>\n

“As alternative ways to photograph things, each gives us\u00a0a unique vision of the world. One that continues to instil in viewers a sense of the mysterious and magical.<\/p>\n

“My interest in pinhole photography began when I was still in\u00a0art school. Discovering such a simple, non-mechanical way to make\u00a0photographs came as something of a revelation. I loved the idea of\u00a0making cameras out of whatever materials were at hand.<\/p>\n

“Almost\u00a0any type of design could be explored \u2013 wide angle, panoramic, you\u00a0name it. But it was the beauty of the images pinholes could produce\u00a0that was most compelling. It wasn\u2019t long before I had abandoned\u00a0conventional cameras altogether. And so it has remained to this day.<\/p>\n

“Building pinhole cameras eventually led me to experiment with\u00a0a stereo design. I knew very little about stereography and really\u00a0didn\u2019t expect great results, assuming there must be something very\u00a0tricky to making three-dimensional photographs. But my reservations were soon laid to rest. Once again the humble pinhole proved\u00a0itself to be a remarkable performer.<\/p>\n

“Through it a whole new creative\u00a0realm was opened up to me \u2013 the world of 3-D photography!” …<\/p>\n
