Through a View Master

Every now and then I have to bring out the View Master and get lost in the still stereoscopic world of Hawaii's Tropical Gardens circa 1950 or California in the 70s. It was a trippy toy when I was seven and it's still a trippy toy.  I had several growing up. I remember breaking one trying to get the reel to project onto the wall using the viewer a magnifying glass and a flashlight. All I managed to get was a tiny upside down image. What was I thinking I wonder. I was so in love with the images through the View Master viewer.  

Check out Vladmaster. I've ordered the Franz Kafka Parables Vladmaster Set and can't wait to receive it! If you want to see your own world through a View Master (and have money to burn) there are places like Studio 3D that can make this happen. There is a View Master set for everyone. Wish Kenneth Anger would do a set. In fact, I could think of several artist I wish would make special View Master reels. The best place to get new packets is through this store. If I ever find this set I know exactly who would love it.

Would be awesome if LOMO could start making the stereo camera and cutter again.
