My name is Eddie
Bowers. I'm a systems engineer at Microsoft and a avid View-Master
collector as well as 3D Stereo photographer. 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 me with my
Belplasca stereo camera. This is one of the main cameras I use 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. (I need a new photo, this one is at
least 10 years old) |

This is a picture my wife took of me shooting with my
Personal Stereo Camera in Colorado (Click for the full
picture)
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 I try to be
up there as much as possible.

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 :)
PF-Flyers
are pretty cool too. |

| This is my band. My friend from college writes
most of the songs, and my longtime friend and coworker at
Microsoft plays drums. We may never be famous, but it sure is
fun. When I started with this 3D stuff I had pretty much retired
my music ambitions. It's great to be doing it again. |
