VSC announcements

This time we have two pre­sen­ta­tions that take us to very dif­fer­ent land­scapes and peri­ods in the his­to­ry of stere­oscopy. Andrew Lau­ren will explore how stereo­scop­ic pho­tog­ra­phy doc­u­ment­ed the open­ing up and devel­op­ment of the Grand Canyon, pre­serv­ing views of a land­scape and its ear­ly vis­i­tors that have long since dis­ap­peared. Gert-Jan Wolk­ers, mean­while, will bring us much clos­er to the present with his per­son­al approach to stereo pho­tog­ra­phy and 3D time­lapse, includ­ing recent work made in the Dutch dunes with com­pact dig­i­tal equipment.

We’re look­ing for­ward to a pre­sen­ta­tion by Lawrence Kauf­mann about 3D Com­ic books fol­lowed by a short note about the new Vir­tu­al Stereo­scop­ic Muse­um and shar­ing ideas for future gal­leries fea­tur­ing images from our VSC community.
Final­ly, we are going to enjoy a Com­mu­ni­ty Slideshow: Sum­mer­time. Pre­pare your sun glass­es and a cool drink!
Join us on Sun­day, Sep­tem­ber 6th at 2:00 pm EDT / 8:00 pm CEST

Mark your cal­en­dar — the next VSC Meet­ing is on June 7th, and it’s shap­ing up to be a great one. We’ve got award-win­ning 3D imagery, a peek at some tru­ly per­son­al cre­ative work, and a deep dive into New York City’s past through his­toric stereo pho­tog­ra­phy. We are look­ing for­ward to see­ing you this Sun­day for a fun meeting!

We’re back! Join us for our next VSC meet­ing on May 10th, and pre­pare to be inspired. This month we have two won­der­ful pre­sen­ta­tions in store: Colleen Woolpert invites us on a per­son­al jour­ney through 25 years of stere­oscopy, and Nan­cy Nehring shares her fas­ci­nat­ing research into the art of the French stereo tis­sue — and how you can make one your­self. Whether you’re a sea­soned stereo enthu­si­ast or sim­ply curi­ous, there’s some­thing for every­one. We look for­ward to see­ing you there!

We invite you to join us for an inspir­ing VSC meet­ing cel­e­brat­ing stereo­scop­ic art and archi­tec­ture in 3D.
Please note: Due to sea­son­al time changes, the meet­ing will take place on March 8, 2026, at 3pm EDT / 8pm CET
We look for­ward to see­ing you there!

We are pleased to invite you to our next VSC meet­ing on Sun­day, Feb­ru­ary the 8th, fea­tur­ing a pre­sen­ta­tion by Vic­tor Lévy: Could stere­oscopy be part of a heal­ing process? After dis­cov­er­ing it by chance, Vic­tor Lévy found stere­oscopy played a key role in restor­ing vision once thought beyond repair, and in his talk he explores its chal­lenges, pos­si­bil­i­ties, and heal­ing potential.
The meet­ing will also include time for Show, Tell & Dis­cuss, allow­ing par­tic­i­pants to exchange expe­ri­ences, ideas, and ques­tions relat­ed to stere­oscopy and vision.
We look for­ward to an engag­ing and thought­ful evening and hope many of you will join us.

Hap­py New Year from the Vir­tu­al Stereo­scop­ic Community!
We’re excit­ed to invite you to the first VSC meet­ing of the year, tak­ing place on Sun­day, 11th. Let’s start the year togeth­er with an inspir­ing talk, hands-on ideas and plen­ty of time to connect.
We’re look­ing for­ward to start­ing the year with great con­ver­sa­tions, new ideas, and famil­iar faces.
See you on Sun­day the 11th!

Meet with us on Sun­day — Decem­ber 7th — for an excit­ing last meet­ing of 2025. We have two high­lights lined up for you:
George Themelis will do a deep dive into wildlife pho­tog­ra­phy, show­ing us his equip­ment and tech­nique along­side examples.
Then we’re hav­ing a Show & Tell with a very spe­cial top­ic. We’re look­ing for­ward to your contributions!
We can’t wait to con­nect with you on Sun­day for a cozy time together.

We’re excit­ed to announce this mon­th’s meet­ing on Sun­day, Novem­ber 9th. You’re invit­ed to join us for two thrilling presentations:
First we step back into the 1950s. Join col­lec­tor Eric for a live show-and-tell of rare, stun­ning slides, behind-the-scenes sto­ries, and an inter­ac­tive Q&A. After­wards, Guenter Pomas­ka explores whether advanced monoc­u­lar depth esti­ma­tion and pix­el-shift­ing tech­niques can tru­ly replace the sec­ond lens in stereo imaging.
We look for­ward to an engag­ing and inspir­ing meet­ing. See you this Sun­day, Novem­ber 9th at 2:00 pm EST / 8:00 pm CET!

We have an extra­or­di­nary pro­gram lined up for Octo­ber 5th — one that blends his­to­ry, artistry, and a touch of the supernatural.
We are hon­ored to wel­come Paula Flem­ing, renowned pho­to his­to­ri­an and co-author of the defin­i­tive book Dia­b­leries: Stereo­scop­ic Adven­tures in Hell. Paula’s pre­sen­ta­tion will explore the his­to­ry, artistry, and endur­ing lega­cy of these remark­able stere­os. We’re absolute­ly delight­ed to host her for what promis­es to be an unfor­get­table talk.
After­ward we will dive into the shad­ows of the sea­son! We’re hav­ing a chill­ing com­mu­ni­ty slideshow — ghosts, dark­ness, and eerie Dia­b­leries welcome.

We hope you enjoyed a refresh­ing sum­mer break! The VSC is back, and we’re excit­ed to invite you to our first meet­ing of the new season.
We have two out­stand­ing pre­sen­ta­tions lined up:
Wayne Kar­berg’s show explores three cre­ative facets of pho­tog­ra­phy to pro­duce unex­pect­ed and dra­mat­ic results.
After­wards Jim Met­calfe will take us on a jour­ney through sev­er­al unique macro cam­era rigs he has devel­oped over the years.
This promis­es to be an inspir­ing evening of ideas, tech­niques, and images. We look for­ward to see­ing you there!

We’re excit­ed to invite you to an inspir­ing evening of visu­al cre­ativ­i­ty and com­mu­ni­ty sto­ry­telling this Sun­day, July 6th at 2pm EDT / 8pm CEST on Zoom.
Join us with Oktay Akd­eniz as he shares his unique approach to 3D macro pho­tog­ra­phy — from build­ing cus­tom gear to exper­i­ment­ing with opti­cal tech­niques, cul­mi­nat­ing in a strik­ing 3D video craft­ed with his self­made equipment.
After that, we want to see every­day life through dif­fer­ent lens­es in a vibrant show­case of your street pho­tog­ra­phy! Send us up to 2 images to be fea­tured in our slideshow.
We’re look­ing for­ward to see­ing you on Sun­day and to spend­ing a mem­o­rable meet­ing together!
