Stereographs
Since the advent of digital photography made the risk of shooting doublets easier to stomach, we've been experimenting with stereoscopic photographs (stereographs), a genre of photography and publishing that flourished between 1850 and 1920 — but now is all but unknown.
For viewing these, you can purchase stereoscopes at Reel 3D Enterprises (among other places). #

We use a standard point-and-shoot digital camera, so for now we're limited to still lifes (or to subjects capable of following orders to hold still). These samples are presented at screen resolution; to acquire high-resolution prints — which offer a dramatically superior stereoscopic effect — please contact us at sales@octothorp.us.
