Stereoviews of old Japan, animated

A stereoviewer (below) was all the rage around the turn of the (last) century. Two photos would combine in a viewer to create a simulated 3D image. Like binoculars.

Okinawa Soba has turned this collection from old Japan into animated GIFs – using both photos as frames. More photos here. Flickr set here.

Feels just like an earthquake.

I can see Russia in color!

Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorskii’s experimental color photographs of prerevolutionary Russia, photographed between 1907 and 1915. Details and more photos here.

Theatre time!

Local bumpers for theatre chains.

General Cinema’s original Feature Presentation animation (above) was iconic. Skip thru to 3:40 to see it in its 1960s blue glory!

Syufy’s old music (below) got the audience to clap along. Their googie-styled cinemas were shaped like dome spaceships.

United Artists (above) was pure 1980s flair!

I once saw a guy walk out of a showing of Amadeus (1984) humming the UA theme music.

Check out my Theatre prints, cards and postcards. Featuring the now defunct Millbrae and Belmont Theatres. Part of my 20th Century Obsolete series (below).

The Wogs

We have two dogs. We rescued them from situations that weren’t so good. Kira is the light brown one, Biene is the poodle.

This week they’re not getting along. Biene has been pooping in Kira’s bed. And the emotional response from Kira – she’s really upset about it – is overwhelming.

They’re both quite crazy.

Moore’s cover, model Anja Rubik

Demi Moore is on the cover of this month’s W magazine. And she’s looking great. But is she looking just a bit too great? Read more here.
