Steven Lederman’s Congruent Slide Set, Loop 35

by Steven Lederman


Recently I experienced the misfortune of my last 3D World mounting jig falling into a state of disrepair. I have been capturing a lot of stereo images lately, but without a reliable way to mount said images I was forced to dig through my archives. I wanted to present a set of images that made sense together, that told a cohesive story. I finally came up with the selections submitted here. The four images share so much in common! First, they were all shot on film! Second, they’re all mounted using cardboard mounts! Third, they were all captured with a camera of some kind, and fourth, they all have some sort of writing on the mounts themselves! Incredible! I had no idea that I had been unconsciously photographing images with these similar themes, and that I was building such a coherent body of related work!
“Queen Kong – Trestle”
Most of the band Queen Kong performing in 2021 on the back patio of Trestle Brewery. Shot with a TL-120-1, probably on Superpan 200, which I reverse processed myself using a Jobo unit.
“Queen Kong @ Trestle Brewery”
The rest of the band Queen Kong performing in 2021 on the back patio of Trestle Brewery. Details the same as above.
“Clown Cars”
A semi-successful cha-cha captured somewhere in Connecticut (I think) using a Fujifilm GA645W Professional with a 45mm lens. Looks like expired Fuji stock. Home processed with a Jobo unit.
“COGNITIVE”
Photographed in 2022 in Lansing Michigan using a TL-120-55. I believe the correct name of this sculpture is “Portrait of a Dreamer”. The interactive parts of the sculpture were partly broken when I made this image, if I recall correctly. Looks like expired Kodak stock. Home processed with a Jobo unit.

Timo – Folio A35

Spanish Horse

This image was taken in 2019 in Spain, somewhere, using my Sputnik.

This slide is mounted backwards. (I was in a hurry because I was heading for vacation and didn’t want to hold the Folio for an extra week or more).

 

 

 

Midway Food

A very old slide taken at the Canadian National Exhibition in Toronto. There were no moving rides in it so I never shared it before, but, since my TL120 continues to spoil whole rolls of film, I have become very partial to the sharpness of these shots.

 

 

 

 

Having a Rest

This shot is also an older shot taken with my TL120 on Provia 100f, and I don’t understand why I haven’t shown it to anybody before now.

This slide was also labelled backwards.

 

 

 

 

Gold Coast Beach

I hesitate to put this image into the folio, but I am curious to hear what folks have to say. Obviously foreground is limited to a flag and water and sand but let me know if I just wasted film.

Ferruginous Hawk Nest

I found this nest on a hike called “The Valley of 1000 Devils” in the East Block of Grasslands National Park. Hiking in the back-country is nice as you cant point your camera in nearly any direction without including any sign of human development. The English transliteration of the Latin scientific name for this bird is “Royal Buzzard” — surely Saskatchewan’s most impressive grassland bird.  Here it has used some bones to construct its nest. I wish I had a half stop less exposure here.

 

Narrow Hills Esker View

This one is a bit sad for me. I took this shot in Narrow Hills Provincial Park. It was a bit smoky the year I took this photo from forest fires further north — you can see the lack of contrast in the distance. (You can also see a blurry log in the foreground due to insufficient DOF, but try not to focus on that too much!) Well, during the summer of 2025, a large fraction of the park was burned in a forest fire, including this area. I guess it might be kinda interesting to go back and take some photographs after the fire.

 

Alley After Spring Storm

Back Alley Fence After Storm

Sorry for the two similar views, but I’d like to get your feedback. After a spring storm, the clouds cleared right around sunset and there was some really wild light. I was totally overcome by the atmosphere that I found myself immersed in. There were lots of wonderful wet reflective surfaces and great textures highlighted by the low angle of the sun peeking out from the clouds. I knew I only had a few minutes before the sun set, but I didn’t know where to point my camera. I was just around my house in a suburban environment and the neighborhood is rather photographically uninspiring ). I knew I had to try to shoot something in 3D, so I grabbed my TL-120 and ventured down the alley. I’m curious if you’ve ever found yourself in a similar situation. How would you approach shooting this situation? Do you see any potential compositions in these two slides that I overlooked?

 

Cheers and thanks for the many wonderful images this round!

Lake Superior Ice (near Duluth)

by Linda Nygren

This was taken with a “tuned” Sputnik, along Lake Superior on Minnesota’s “North Shore” a few years back. Although Lake Superior does not freeze over entirely in winter (unlike smaller bodies of water with less wave action), there are typically areas in protected bays that will freeze over for a time. These ice sheets then “break up” periodically and the ice plates pile up near the shore, as seen here. The sound during the breakup is incredible, although I have not had a chance to observe in recent years. Hearing the sounds prior to the breakup when the water motion causes a sort of “belching” under the ice is also  quite an experience.
