History of Stereo Photography



It was Sir Charles Wheatstone who in 1833 first came up with the idea of presenting slightly different images to the two eyes using a device he called a reflecting mirror stereoscope. When viewed stereoscopically, he showed that the two images are combined in the brain to produce 3-D depth perception.

Huntsville (Fake story)




“Jennet Race, Michele Cougar & Johnny Deed. There the craziest and most drug daring people of Huntsville. There home has more people coming through it then the local supermarket and more money too. You would think with the money they make from Blow, they would be the richest people in town, but there not, there spend it all on parties and getting there friend F$#Ked up. "

ICON & ARCHIVE photography &the world wars


You could spend hours at the exhibit reading and looking at the images and finding out what people went through to get some of the shots.
I was most interested in the photo dairy’s they had on display and the thank you card they sent.

The show was well done. I’m not a fan of family portraits at exhibitions but the text that where with the prints where very good

Strike a Pose


I really liked this show because it’s been different to all the other shows that are on at the moment.

It’s full of colour and some bad deigned clothes that I think makes the show.

WILD PLACES


 National Library of Australia hosted another terrific exhibition, “ Wild Places”.

 The photographs at the exhibition were very large and had wonderful colors

of the Australian outback.

 

With the two exhibitions on at the National Library of Australia, Wild Places and A Modern Vision they are both taking photographs of the Australian landscape.

A Modern Vision photography exhibit shows us the development of modern Australia.

 

Wild Place exhibit reflects on the naturel beauty of outback Australia.

A MDERN VISION BY Charles Bayliss, Photographer, 1850-1897


I went to the National Library of Australia to see, “A Modern Vision “ this was a photography exhibition showing extraordinary work and career of Charles Bayliss.

 

The photographs are of the development of Sydney, Melbourne and other areas of Australia.

 

This was very well documented as well the wall texts gave me a grate understanding of the photographs.

 

THE INDIGENOUS EDGE Blacksoil Country




For my self this was a long read. For this assignment   I tried to capture images that would be in the landscape and surrounding  living space but using a tight frame.

Bungendore Woodwork Gallery


As soon as I walked into the Woodwork galley, this photograph just grabbed me. I don’t know what it was but this little girl named Mindi, seems so quite and fragile with her soft lips blowing the Flute.

 


I was told there was a grate story about this photograph and how Don Burrows captured
this special moment of Mindi playing the Flute.
