This area on Lake Geneva is known as Bain des Pâquis because there are places to sunbathe (and in winter take sauna baths). However in the summer, on the evening of the Swiss National holiday, the first of August, this jetty is used to hold a huge fireworks display. You can see the barrels of explosives in this image.

Jet d’eau Geneva, Switzerland
I must have used my Mamiya C330s on a Manfrotto slider because this is slightly hyper I think. I like the depth steps in this stereo photo. 
Halles de l’Îsle
A popular restaurant in the middle of Geneva on the Rhône river. I changed the sky in the image below.
Geneva from Above
A view from the hills surrounding Geneva, Switzerland on a beautiful summer day. It kinda looks like the face of a grumpy old man. The part of the path I stood on was a bit wider!
Michele + Jet in Philly (Zagar A208)
Sometime around 2017 we visited Philadelphia to take in a concert by Raffi, whose music Jet just loved to pieces. It was the furthest South that Raffi had ever travelled in his very long career of live performance for young audiences (Raffi is Canadian). Raffi is getting pretty old these days, so we jumped at the chance to go see him. Of course, a stereoscopic angle had to be included, so I undertook to find some of Isaiah Zagar’s thousands of murals. He has practically covered Philadephia with these distinctive works, which have a lot of stereoscopic interest, on account of the liberal use of bits of mirror. Learn more about Zagar’s opus here: https://www.phillymagicgardens.org/about-philadelphias-magic-gardens/about-isaiah-zagar/
Photography was done with a Sputnik shooting Velvia 50. But the weather was not as bright as I had hoped for. On the ground you can see my test exposure rig, a twin rig Sigma DP1 Merrill.
Rocky Coast at Porquerolle Island
An island just off the shore near Hyères, France.
Blue Flower Hedge
Lots of lovely flowering hedges in this area near the house in Hyères, France.
Rocky Mediterranean Coast
Close to Hyères.
Entrance # 16, Hyères, France
Oleander hedges around the entrance to the house next door that my girlfriend’s sister rents each summer in the south of France. The pine trees are full of cicadias noisily rubbing their wings each evening! A short ride downhill to the tennis courts, Mediterranean coast and beaches. Good place for your health with a diet of loads of varied fresh vegetables and seafood.
“Wild Horses”
This is a cross-eye view of the MF3D view now in the folio. It was made on a shoot with my good friend, Mike Davis. We actually got run off by security, for looking “too professional” with our twin rigs, tripods, step-ladder, and bags of gear! As you can see, the cast is different in the two. Turns out it’s due to one of those “happy accidents”: The Right-Eye view (on the left here, with the green cast) was shot on Velvia RVP50, while the Left-Eye view (on the right here, with the magenta cast) was shot on Velvia RVP100F. So it’s a whole different kind of Retinal Rivalry, but I think it adds to immersive experience (just by chance). Shot with two RB67s with 50mm lenses – focus knobs touching – overcast day.
Ordinarily I do not try to make art using elements of the artwork of others, but made an exception in this case. This amazing Bronze Sculpture is by Robert Glen and graces Williams Square in Las Colinas in Irving Texas. It used to be a grassy field where I hunted rabbits, growing up nearby.
Go Raptors Go!
Because of the Toronto Raptors historic 2019 NBA Championship win over the Golden State Warriors I have decided to send all my images this round from that fair city. Interiors are Fuji Velvia RVP 100F and exteriors are Provia RDP III taken with the TL 120.
Ontario College of Art And Design It kind of looks like they wanted to preserve the building underneath and stuck this one on top of it.
Roger’s Toronto Late Afternoon. This is a cha-cha and I got pretty lucky with the
lack of clouds and so not much movement between shutter clicks in the bottom although I just noticed a ladder or small crane in one image and not in the other one. I took a bunch at sunset but they are unviewable because of the cloud movements in the sky. This was taken from the balcony of by brother’s appartement very close to the centre of the city which is basically Yonge and Bloor streets.
Stained Glass Silhouette Inside St. James Cathedral on Church Street. Tried to expose for the stained glass windows but maybe a touch too dark.

Submission 2014
I wanted to dedicate my submission this year to David Lee, who was a great master of medium format 3d and who I was lucky enough to meet. His work has been an inspiration to me.
- Busan Igidae park, this was a beautiful park, this picture was taken on a windy day with the waves crashing in the foreground, and the Busan skyline, and bridge in the background. This was shot with the tl120 at f/11 1/250.
- Gyeogju, this is a hyperstereo with 50 foot separation Fuji gf670w fuji velvia.
- San Francisco. I took this picture in San Francisco, please excuse, the ship motion artifacts between the two shots. Fuji gf670w 60 foot separation. David Lee met me and drove me up to the viewpoint for this shot.
- Gyeongju temple: This is a wooden bell in the temple on one of the excursions of ISU Korea 2015.
Thank you for allowing me to share my work. I have enjoyed yours on this round

Kitch Gitten Place
This Sante Fe shop keeper agreed to have this environmental portrait done in the doorway. The Open shade made Velvia the choice – interior light balanced well by luck.
Crown Jewels
I like shooting store windows – reflections vs. transluscence. Thi one is more about the stuff, the sunflowers, and signage.
Abandoned Adobe
Velvia worked wll for this lighting scenario – side sun. I love how it saturates the colors.
One Man’s Junk
I was absolutely awestruck when I came upon this scene. The picket fence, the metal barn, the broken glass, even the wires in the sky… and wow, what a sky.
