Hello! Most of the recent posts (since February, 2020) are taken within walking distance from my home, if not from the home itself.

 

Born in the late '40's, I've retired to Laramie, Wyoming from back east. Most of the shots I show are taken as I and my dog hike the prairies of The Great Laramie Plains, or hike the fabulous neighboring Medicine Bow National Forrest.

 

The majority of stereo pairs in my stream were taken with a Canon G9 Point-and-shoots,. Cha-cha method used, then processed by Stereo Photo Maker. I find it addicting! It's amazing what you can do with simple modern cameras!

 

The Infrared shots were taken with a Minolta Dimage 7 and an IR filter. I have paired two Dimage 7's for the more recent Stereo Infrared shots. Using a common remote, they "sync" very well, even when doing bracketed exposures for HDR processing.

 

Recently I obtained a decent film scanner. Now I have to get all those film images on-line! Film based "Stereo Realist" Pairs are a more recent set of postings. Some of these are negatives that I had take many years ago, and have NEVER seen printed or made positive. Darkroom work was not very productive, it takes a LOOONG time to produce a single, decent Holmes Card. Now I can scan and process a dozen negs in an hour! It's exciting to see old work for the first time!

 

UPDATE: Most recent sunset shots, rainbows, and skys are shot within a few step of my home. The atmospherics that present themselves in the Laramie Valley can be astounding!

 

Senior life in the Laramie area is vibrant! The proximity of the amazing Medicine Bow National Forest, and the outstanding University of Wyoming in Laramie, make life quite busy, even at the altitude of 7400+ feet and in the longer winter seasons.

 

If summer falls on a weekend in Laramie, we go on a picnic, or even play baseball!

 

Wyoming is really a small town with VERY long streets...
