| I asked James to send us some information on his interest in 3D (website coordinator, David Rosenblatt) | ||||

James Elbon: In response to your request; I first became interested in 3-D inabout 1943. My aunt had an old stereoscopic viewer and pictures. Ijust loved looking at them every time we visited. A few years laterI received my first View-Master with View-Mater pictures. In theearly 1950's I bought my first 3-D comic book which featured MightyMouse. Also at that time 3-D movies were popular at the PolkTheatre in Lakeland. I made a point to see all of them. I alsoexperiment with drawing 3-D anaglyph pictures using the anaglyphglasses that came with my 3-D comic books. In the 1960's I traveledto England with the Air Force. There I discovered all kinds of 3-Dstuff at the Science Museum in London.
In the late 1970's I became a Flight Engineer in the Air ForceReserves, which lead to me becoming a Flight Engineer with SaudiArabian airlines. I traveled all over the world. On one of my manytrips to Casablanca Morocco, I discovered a Russian 3-D camera, ina local camera store. It was in a kit that also contained a printerand viewer. I then started taking 3-D pictures in many countries. Next, I discovered 3-D cameras, pictures, and viewers in thedifferent antique stores around Europe, which lead me to startcollecting them. Later, when working for ATA, an American charterAirline at that time, I discovered that Milwaukee's antique storeswere an excellent source for more 3-D stuff. In the 1950'sMilwaukee manufactured 3-D cameras. So it went until I retired. I attended Full Sail Real WorldEducation in Winter Park, to learn, the software that I would needto produce 3-D content. As of now, I am the only student to do astereoscopic 3-D project. Last year I officially started a 3-D business, called 3-D Master,Inc. I purchased the URL's; "www.3-DMaster.com" and "www.AnachromeGlasses.com. I plan on 3-DMaster.comto present 3-D pictures and 3-D video; which is useless without theanaglyph glasses to see it in 3-D. The website AnaglyphGlasses.comwill have the sole function of selling the 3-D glasses, to look at3-D on the internet, CDs, DVDs, comic books, and etc. Until I getthe web site up and running, you can order 3-D glasses from me for$7.00 which includes shipping.
