Re: stereo wedding slides

[graywolf]

Back when I was in the Air Force (1960-63) I had a friend that did weddings with 
a Pacemaker Crown Graphic 23 and roll film back. He had a Stereo Realist camera 
mounted on top of the Graphic that he shot 3D color with. He claimed he sold a 
lot of stereo slides (shot on speculation) to his customers in addition to the 
contracted base package, 12 8x10 B&W prints in an album (times were simpler then).

I have this client who mentioned that his parent's wedding photos had
been shot in stereo back in 1954. I was at his house the other day to
shoot baby pics, and he showed them to me. This is what he had:

Maybe some of you had heard of stereo wedding photography, but I
hadn't...does anyone have any info on the equipment and history? I
know we have a few stereo buffs here.
I have to say I was quite impressed with the photography...well lit,
well posed. The guy knew what he was doing. I wonder if this was
considered a "premium" service at the time?
I also wonder if it would be possible to do it these days....
