I got my first camera at the age of 7 or 8 and ever since, photography has been keeping me busy in one way or another. After a few recent years of mostly digital photography, I have now been moving back towards traditional analogue photography using real film, also more and more away from things like automatic exposure and autofocus. Solid mechanical cameras made of real metal, preferrably without batteries are usually the ones I like the most, in both medium format and 35 mm. One of my most recent interest is stereo photograhy, which I discovered almost by accident just about a year ago... all it took was one test roll of Velvia shot with an over 50 year old Stereo Realist and I was hooked! A few results can be seen here in cross-view format. They can be viewed in 3D without any special glasses or other equipment. To find out how it's done, just google for "crossview 3D". It sometimes takes a little practice but it's definitely worth the effort!
Enjoy!
