Text of the page (random words):
on at precisely the same split second as rosenthal s pulitzer prize winning photograph the striking similarity of those two images has been noted by a number of world war ii historians an intriguing photographic prospect had gone unexplored for six decades however by juxtaposing rosenthal s photograph with the matching frame from genaust s film it is possible to produce an authentic 3 d image of the iwo jima flag raising for the first time we can see one of the most iconic moments in u s military history with a real sense of depth and spatial relationships the 3 d effects are not the result of digital manipulation or computer trickery they are based on the same photographic techniques that have been used to produce stereoscopic imagery for more than a century a 3 d photograph allows the viewer to see a single image from two slightly different viewpoints mimicking the natural separation of human eyes when two nearly identical images are directed independently to a viewer s eyes the brain combines the resulting visual signals to produce a single merged image the separation of viewpoints results in a natural stereoscopic effect the most common example of this 3 d process is the view master a toy that sends slightly different images to the viewer s eyes through two separate lenses the images accompanying this article provide two different ways to see the flag raising photographs as a single three dimensional image if you have access to a standard pair of 3 d glasses with red and blue lenses you can view a red blue stereoscopic version of the image at the top of this page or to view the 3 d effect in an unassisted manner follow the step by step instructions provided with the paired black and white photographs below these unique stereoscopic images were produced with the technical assistance of boris starosta an expert in the field of 3 d photography seeing the assembled photographs for the first time starosta was surprised by the realistic depth of the 3 d image in the tiny subgenre of found or accidental stereos he wrote this one has got to be the most interesting one i ve ever seen or even heard of you ve got quite a find on your hands author and historian albee supplied the appropriate frame from genaust s film seen on the left below rosenthal s photograph on the right is from the archives of the associated press albee notes that the three dimensional image is more than a simple curiosity 3 d enables us to view with greater clarity this historic moment when the marines first effort was made to identify the men in the photograph only the names of five men were sought the hands of a sixth man not being readily apparent albee said 3 d however allows the viewer to quickly detect the presence of that sixth man the iwo jima flag raising in 3 d all three dimensional images consist of two slightly different views of the same scene one for each eye by directing these images separately and simultaneously into each eye the viewer s brain is tricked into seeing a single fused image that produces a sense of stereoscopic depth through a process known as free viewing many people are able to observe this sense of depth without the aid of 3 d glasses or viewers here s how it works 1 the paired black and white photographs above are positioned in a cross eyed format that means the image on the left is for your right eye and the image on the right is for your left eye to prepare for free viewing of the 3 d effect look at the paired photographs in a natural relaxed manner from a comfortable distance at an arm s length or slightly farther 2 gradually cross your eyes until the pair of images doubles to four they will appear to be somewhat out of focus if you have trouble try holding your index finger halfway between your eyes and the screen focus on your fingertip and you ll notice that the photographs in the background have doubled 3 next slowly uncross your eyes until the two pairs of images begin to overlap direct your attention to the center of the overlapping area where you will fuse the left and right images when your eyes are crossed just the right amount you will appear to be looking at three blurry images 4 keeping your eyes crossed examine the blurry details in the fused center image and relax after a few moments your brain will allow you to focus on the details without uncrossing your eyes and the image will pop into sharp focus the stereoscopic depth of the fused photographs should quickly become apparent please note some people find it easier to concentrate on the dots above the photographs when the fused center dot comes into sharp focus let your eyes drift down to the photographs without changing your focus the free viewing process can be somewhat stressful if you should experience discomfort discontinue and return to the task later as you become more accustomed to the procedure your eyes will relax and the discomfort will be reduced source boris starosta to view additional 3 d images from photographer boris starosta go here another method for viewing the stereoscopic flag raising photographs my brother eric recently told me about some interesting twitchy 3 d photographs that were collected by mental floss blogger david k israel these images are based on standard stereoscopic techniques which capture a single scene from two separate vantage points just inches apart in the same manner that our eyes and brain combine two slightly different perspectives to produce a sense of three dimensional depth as israel explains it is possible to produce a simple animation by alternating between the left and right images of a stereoscopic image twitching ever so slightly from the minuscule difference in perspective the resulting effect creates images that have a sense of depth and three dimensional quality to them without the need for those annoying glasses israel s mental floss blog post here presents a small collection of animated 3 d images including this one from portland based art director matt moore the same techniques can be applied to the paired photographs of the iwo jima flag raising this simple animation of the two flag raising images clearly shows the different camera angles of the two photographers marine cinematographer sgt bill genaust stood to the right of associated press photographer joe rosenthal and shot the scene from a slightly higher elevation in the pulitzer prize winning rosenthal photograph private first class rene gagnon is barely visible on the far side of the flag pole in the frame from genaust s film gagnon comes more fully into view also because rosenthal had taken a position that was somewhat lower than genaust s the background of his famous image shows less of the island below mount suribachi s peak

that belonged above a sofa putting it in the kids room wouldn t have been a good answer either particularly at bedtime now and then i made half hearted suggestions to display it elsewhere in our house but my wife had other ideas most of her other ideas involved a dumpster so the painting sat out of sight just taking up space why did i keep it i knew it wasn t some long lost masterpiece by one of the world s great painters it likely was worth even less than when i d spotted it decades earlier in the window of a thrift shop in dubuque iowa an atypical thrift store find this tortured depiction of human anguish was worlds away from paint by number kittens and windmills it was vincent van gogh meets vincent price it was norman rockwell meets norman bates i had to own it checking the back for a price tag i was astounded to learn that the artist was someone i actually had known my previous boss a soft spoken family man named sid i really had to own it the best thing about the painting was its title hey world look at me it seems that sid may have had some issues as much as i appreciated the irony of its origins i had no good reason to keep the painting i lost touch with sid long ago and it seemed unlikely that i d ever find a suitable place to display his handiwork very few homes have dungeons these days i thought about tracking sid down to return the painting to him but knowing he d managed to rid himself of it once already i presumed he might not be thrilled to see it again after so many years which raised a serious question if sid could get rid of the painting why couldn t i it s easy to understand why we hang onto old photographs and love letters they often evoke warm memories of good times our reasons for clinging to dusty fondue sets and gum wrapper chains are a bit more obscure when possessions become obsessions it s time to face the situation squarely which is what i did with sid s painting i wrote about it for the newspaper as the central focus of a story about completely useless possessions guilty treasures we called them at the end of the story we invited readers to submit stories and photos of their own worthless junk if your item is the weirdest of the weird i wrote sid s painting will be yours i promised to personally deliver sid s painting to the lucky winner s doorstep with a single stipulation just promise me you ll keep it away from the dumpster a number of people wrote in to describe their most dubious belongings one guy talked about his hobby of collecting chunks of roadside debris car parts bolts and other pieces of heavy metal which he then recycled into paperweights one of his favorite pieces was the logo plate from the front of a discarded gibson frost clear refrigerator another reader told us about a collection of artifacts from her days as an employee at heritage usa a defunct north carolina tourist site started by tv evangelists jim and tammy faye bakker tapes books pins dolls puppets and a tammy faye cosmetics emery board imprinted with her signature we also heard from a teacher who had snagged a somewhat unusual memento during a 1973 trip to moscow her first time out of the united states the strip that they put around a toilet seat to let you know that it was cleaned the paper strip was from the hotel rossiya just steps from the kremlin red square and st basil s cathedral they didn t have a lot of souvenirs over there our prize winning submission came from a young woman named lucie who confessed her abiding fondness for 80s new wave pop star adam ant i was in love with him when i was 13 lucie told us everything about him the look the music the pirate uniform lucie collected anything she could find that pertained to the british singer who had given us the song goody two shoes his albums adorned her walls and his music played from home recorded cd compilations although lucie s husband barry wasn t much of an adam ant fan he never tried too hard to contain his wife s ant thusiasm he lets me have my little crushes lucie said with a laugh what was it exactly that put lucie s adam ant collection at the top of our guilty treasures heap how did her ant pile enter the guilt ridden realm of utter uselessness i have a bunch of movies he made lucie told us but i have never been able to make myself watch them at the time the internet movie database listed dozens of adam ant s movie roles and notable tv appearances lucie faithfully collected the videos but hadn t yet found the nerve to watch one fearing her idol might be a horrible actor i m scared that i ll feel less for him that i ll be real unimpressed which brings to mind lucie s then five year old son michael another fan of adam ant lucie told us that michael would dance around the house whenever he heard old 80s music his favorite song video killed the radio star share this share share on facebook opens in new window facebook share on x opens in new window x share on reddit opens in new window reddit email a
