I recently had to scramble to find some pictures from Related Ideas. More accurately, I had to find some image FILES from the project. The negatives are still around, of course, but the timeline and the the thought of rescanning everything gave me the willies. That and seeing my scanner under a not-so-thin blanket of dust made the search extra urgent. In the process I found boxes of prints I forgot I had made. Among them was this picture of Heidi and her Viewmaster. In the words of Obi-Wan (sort of): "Not as clumsy or as random as a playstation, but elegant entertainment for a more civilized age."

Wow, thanks for taking me back. I loved my Viewmaster. Now that I think on it, it was probably the beginning of my fascination with the still image. I think you can still find cameras that will make Viewmaster images on transparency film.

Jon, Matt and I just got finsihed showing a work in our lecture at IU in Indiana. Hope things are well.
Come visit us in Chicago soon! We'll find a hot tub!

Have a look at this one
You have hot tubs in Chicago?! Man, you guys have EVERYTHING. It would be great to catch up with the three of you. And Heidi and I need to get out of town for awhile, bad. Might have to wait until the spring, but we will get there eventually...
