Matt Infante D27 Submissions

by Matt Infante

Hi All,

This is my first submission to the Dragon folio. Thank you Ian for inviting me. I had a wonderful time viewing the slides in the folio.

I live in New York City and have been practicing stereo photography since 2018, specifically MF3D since 2020. These images are from 2021-2023. Three of the slides are scenes in and around NYC. The fourth image of the window looking into a field was photographed in a lighthouse in Nantucket. The teacup image and mirror reflection image were made with a TL120. The image overlooking the Westside Highway and the lighthouse image were made with a twin Yashica-D rig on a slide bar. All of these were shot on Kodak Ektachrome 100.

I generally go for natural scenes that lean more towards documentary photography/street photography, but I also love making portraits of people, which I’ll include more of in the next round. I love waning light and reflections. For this first submission, I chose these just to give a little variety, not just in the subject matter, but also in the technical ways the images were made. The fun facts behind some of these are for the mirror scene, I was hired to document the final construction of “Summit”, which is a multi sensory art installation atop the One Vanderbilt building next to Grand Central. It’s essentially a two story Kusama infinity room on steroids. Lots of 3D eye candy on that project. Also, yes the teacups were actively spinning in that shot. I attribute my brief time as a focus puller on film sets to being able to time the moment correctly at what I think was an F4.

 

“PHOTO WALKS” – Steven Lederman’s d25 Submission

by Steven Lederman

I belong to a number of Photo Walk groups here in Toronto. Participating in a Photo Walk is a great way to get one’s steps in, socialize with like-minded folk, and maybe use a camera that hasn’t been taken out in a while. If one is not driving, one can join one’s aforementioned like-minded friends in quaffing great flagons of beer after the walk, get sotted and beligerent, tip over tavern tables in anger, and tell everyone in the room what one REALLY thinks of them and their pretentious little point ‘n’ shoots.

“BETWEEN A ROCK AND A HARD…….ROCK”.
Captured during an excursion with the (Toronto) ANALOG FRIENDS photo walk group. TL-120-1, Kodak E100SW

“A STREETCAR NAMED RETIRED”.
Made on a solo photography jaunt. Sometimes you don’t want to be with others and their YouTube Influencer cameras. TL-120-1, Kodak Lumiere LPP

“CURB APPEAL”.
Snapped during a pleasant meandering with the TORONTO FILM SHOOTERS photo walk group. Sputnik, very expired and damaged AGFA APX 100 (Foma-R reversal kit)

“DOWN BY THE BAY”.
Photographed during a chilly Fall cattle drive with the TORONTO PHOTO WALKS (TOPW) photo walk group. There was an actual theme set for this photo walk, which was “Towers and Reflections”. Stereo Samulette, Kodak E100S

Submission 2014

Thanks for allowing me to share my images.  I’ve enjoyed your beautiful work

  1. San Francisco 2013 Fuji gf670w  Ektachrome e 100g  20 foot separation
  2. NYC 2013 Fuji gf670w  Ektachrome e 100g  30 foot separation
  3. National Railroad Museum Rusted old Dodge.  EFKE 25 processed by DR5  TL120
  4. National Railroad Museum Steam Engine  EFKE 25 processed by DR5  TL120

I was inspired by David Lee’s great hyperstereos to try shooting some of my own.  My first attempt was from the Mark hotel in San Francisco, My second from a rooftop bar in NYC.

The others are EFKE 25 DR5 transparencies shot at the National Railroad Museum in Wisconsin.  We just had a 3rd boy and moved to Long Island.  I also started a new job, so we’ve been busy.  I wouldve liked to attend the NSA this year, but maybe some time soon.  If any of you are in NYC drop me a line, perhaps we can meet for some mf3d or other photography

Thank you,

Nik Sekhar

Old Rag Mountain Views

by Boris Starosta

Ektachrome 200 (I think, check slide mount notation). A little over exposed, handheld with a Sputnik on loan from Chuck Holzner.

Old Rag Mountain is about a five hour hike in the foothills of the Shenandoah (8.5 miles), north of Charlottesville. Here’s a picture of my betrothed Michele as we near the summit, with the ridge along which we climbed in the background. In some places, the trail involves some surprisingly challenging rock-scrambling (I would jest, “we forgot our ropes!”).

Ektachrome 200 (I think, check slide mount notation). A little under exposed, handheld with a Sputnik on loan from Chuck Holzner.

This is the view from the summit at Old Rag Mt., again looking back from the way we came. Off in the distance, you can see the rocks upon which the earlier image was made – notice the other hikers there? Getting from there to the summit took about a half hour. It was crowded and hot when we did this hike in the summer of 2010. I rather like the under-exposure in this view, as it gives detail to the sky.
