film photography and stereo.monocular vision in recent New Yorker


Recommended Posts

This is not a question, but an alert to two highly photog relevant articles in

the June 19, 2006 New Yorker.

 

That is the isue with the wedding get-away car with one groom and three brides,

if you see it in your doctor's office, at a stand, the library:

 

The first article (p. 46-51) deals with "The Cameraman" Gregg Tolland, who

revolutionized the taking of film shots in the 1930-40s. Wonderful explanations

andideas about how to photograph, light, make action etc etc.

 

Te second article (and I do not know why we are so lucky with this issue) is on

"Stereo Sue" (p. 64-73) and deals with the history and neurological basis of

monocular and stereo human vision, the benefits of both for photography (=

making flat pictures of space around us) and so forth. Very illuminating for

anyone interested in photography, in seeing and depicting.

 

I do not know how to locate these on the internet; the New Yorker site does not

seem to have an archive. Sorry, at least I could not find one.
