My name is Eddie Bowers. I'm  a former systems engineer at Microsoft and a avid View-Master collector as well as 3D Stereo photographer and musician.  I don't recall having much exposure to View-Master or 3D as a kid, and only got into it after a Trip to Washington DC in 1998.  One of the souvenirs we brought back was a DC View-Master set. When I got home and looked at it I was hooked. I have always been into photography and shortly after that trip the Discovery Channel had a show called "Our Favorite Toys". It had a segment about View-Master and showed a brief glimpse of a camera. I HAD TO HAVE ONE! The rest is history :)

 
This is an old photo of me with my Belplasca stereo camera. This is one of the main cameras I have used on View-Master shoots. It's little customized with some 37mm filter rings added and a modified viewfinder that shows me the View-Master cropping area, allowing me to better compose for that format. I also now have the Fuji W1 and W3 digital 3D camera among many other digital stereo cameras.

Since I was very young my Grandfather took me up to South Fork Colorado to spend the whole summer vacation (which used to be 3 months).  It still holds a very special place in my heart and we have now built our own place up in the same area.

 
These are my favorite shoes.  Every time I used to wear out a pair of shoes I would take forever to find some new ones because they never make the same shoes for more than a year or so. I always wanted canvas ones too. It finally dawned on me that Chucks were the answer and I have been happy ever since :) 
My band is Prime Of Life. I also am working on a solo album. I write songs for both projects (prime of life has other writers too).
