Dear Stereo Beginner or not-so-beginner,

Welcome to the wonderful world of Stereo Photography! I have been recording stereo pictures since 1988. I still use old-fashioned stereo cameras and film. I shoot over 100 rolls of slide film a year. I cut and mount my own pictures. I am active in stereo clubs, organizations, and email discussion lists. Within these activities I get to interact with stereo beginners often. So, I think I am qualified to help you! Please study this web page and the associated links and, if you have any questions, do not hesitate to email me.


Please Note: Most of the material that follows is taken from a series of Tutorials in Stereo Photography that I wrote through the years for the Stereogram, the newsletter of the Ohio Stereo Photographic Society (OSPS).  The Tutorial and other related educational material is available for sale in my web page.
