Photographer Rich Dubnow on View-Master and the art of stereoscopic 3-D | Oregon Art Beat

The View-Master premiered at the 1939 New York World’s Fair. More than 80 years later, Rich Dubnow is keeping the magic of the retro viewer alive.
Dubnow got his start shooting stills for the Oregon-born View-Master Company. From 1978 to 1997, Dubnow travelled the world photographing icons as diverse as Pope John Paul II to the Muppets - all in stereoscopic 3-D.
