contact information.

I'm hoping Scenic reels with have a new lease on Life with
Image 3D
Also Rich at Image 3D
has started a new small run / Personal Reel business with
Celebrations 3D
I'm
real excited about the Fuji Digital Stereo camera that is coming out at
the end of the year.
You could create VM reels from those images
using Do it yourself (Charles
Barnard's method) or Celebrations
3D

I'm really bad (obviously) about updating this page. It's been in the
news recently about the demise of View-Master Scenic Reels. I
thought I would just mention that they continue to make reels, just not
the Scenics (What got them started and what a lot of Adults collect).
It's very sad, but the quality has been so bad recently it's hard to
mourn too much.
7/20/2007

hardly find Velvia 50 anymore.
I also updated the Accessories page.

Just got the news that Roger Nazeley passed away. This is a very sad day
for View-Master collectors. Roger was a great resource for me when I
started this hobby and has always been available to answer questions. He
has left a wonderful legacy of information on View-Master and will be
remembered fondly. 7/2/02
Been busy on the Rock City Gardens shoot and haven't made many updates.

see that the site is formatted for the smaller screen. If you prefer
less graphics you can browse to it directly if you would like by going
to
www.vmresource.com/_pocketpc. 11/26/01
Added a View-Master Camera FAQ to cover some of
the typical questions I get on the camera and the system. This includes
making prints from reels from Joseph Kearse. 10/24/01
Got some more packet scans from Roger
to clean up and upload (got one up today). Also added K-PAX to the

Back from vacation and trying to upload some more packets. I'm studying
for some work related exams, so I don't have a lot of time to scan my
own collection at the moment. 9/12/01
The Day After - We are still here, we are not demoralized. Just sad and
really really pissed off. I ask the world not to mistake our pride for
arrogance. We are regular people trying to live our lives day by day
just like everybody else. I also plead to Americans that if it does turn
out to be a radical Islamic group that is responsible, do not assume
this anything to do with the real Islamic religion. Islamic and Arab
Americans are just as horrified (if not more so) as everyone else. 8/29/2001
The Packet Archives are up and
running. 8/24/2001
Added test packets to the Packet Archives

National D-Day Museum View-Master set. |
