[HDR-photo] Stereo (3D) B&W HDR Images

Hello Ted,

Did you even look at my images?

Actually it is much older than that, almost as old as stereo itself.
Age of a process has nothing to do with how good it is - when was that
antiquated art form called sculpture invented?

These images were produced for a public exhibit. Anaglyph is the
easiest form to display for the general public to view.

> It is possible to view full color stereo 3D on your computer monitor

I am well versed in all aspects of stereo and have many years of
experience creating and displaying. I made a conscious decision to
make these B&W and anaglyph.

I must disagree here. The images on that site are, excuse the wording,
downright horrible. They are in no way stereo and give a bad name to
3D. If you are going to be critical of other people's work you really
should have something of your own worthy of basing it on.
