Clickable Map

The world map is your link to most of the photos on this site. Click on the colored regions to take you to another map or maps, then refine your search from there. Europe is broken into countries, groups of countries, or sections of countries. The US is broken into states, groups of states, or sections of states. Australia is broken into states, and grouped with Fiji. Canada is broken into provinces. Latin America countries are grouped together, and the Caribbean is thrown in as well.

Special Topic Guide

This links to an alternate view of the site. The photos are linked to by topic- i.e., churches, flowers, lighthouses, observatories, etc... It is important to note two that this is not all of the pictures on the site can be accessed through topic navigation. Not every photo has a category, but nearly every photo has a geographic location (except for the specialty shots described below).

This guide was formed because I noticed that as I kept adding pictures, there were themes that cut across the galleries. I kept photographing churches and bridges, I started photographing flowers, etc... This is just a different way to view them.

In Depth

This links to the InDepth gallery, which is also accessible from the front page. The World Galleries are the General Content, and the InDepth Gallery is the Premiere Content. The best images from the general content galleries are detailed here, with maps and an additional 2D mini photo album.

Print Them

This links to the Printing feature, which is also accessible from the front page. The same photos in the InDepth feature are available here in three different printing formats- Cross-eyed, Parallel, or Anaglyph.

Space

This links to a series of 3D space images taken from NASA data. This page does not contain outright 3D images that NASA already makes publicly available, as I feel that would be too easy. Instead, I've taken it as a challenge to find the data myself. Sometimes its from a series of shots as the spacecraft flies by a celestial body, and other times the images are extracted from an animation or movie. Either way, you can get good depth information maybe where it wasn't intended.

Macro and Miscellaneous

Although the icon is a microscope, this is a collection of 3D's that don't fit in the travel category. There are some macro shots taken with a 35mm camera, as well as close-ups taken with a scanner and the QX3 digital microscope, shown in the icon.

Stamps

These 3Ds were taken using the Scanner method, and are of some old stamps I had that were themselves 3D- using the surface-mounted lenticular lens, just like 3D baseball cards. Since the scanner method works as it does (see the appropriate section under Taking), it works for these as well, and quite well, I might add.

	Title of the gallery with the Photo Locator Map. Click on the Photo Locator Map if you want to see where in the country or state the photos were taken.
	This is the main 3D section of each gallery. You may start anywhere in the gallery, as the photos are circularly linked with Previous and Next. When you get to the last photo, it will loop back to the first photo. You may pop out at any time.
	In some galleries, there is a Non 3D Extra section. These are additional photos that I have taken that I particularly liked. Typically, this is a much smaller section.
	Navigation bar to return to any higher level.

	Main image viewing area. For a larger image view, click on this image to expand it. You will see only the image when you do this- so just hit the back arrow on the top of your browser to return to this view.
	If you see the icon next to the title, you can click here to see a larger 2D image.
	The caption area describes the photo.
	If you see this area, there is a corresponding entry in the InDepth gallery.
	Circular navigation area with Previous and Next buttons, as well as general navigation to pop up to any other level in the site.

Top Level Navigation	These and similar icons will guide you back to upper levels in the hierarchy. The 3D icon will return to the front page. The World Map icon will return you to the Main Gallery navigation page. There are similar icons for each state or country or category.
Wallpaper	When you see this icon, it means that a much higher resolution version of this image is available for viewing and downloading to set as wallpaper on your machine, if you wish. These may take a while to download. Just click on the icon when you see it.
Photo Locator Map	All travel-related galleries have associated maps to show where the photos were taken. An oval version of the photo is shown on the map with a line pointing to it's location.
InDepth Buttons	If you see the black area in the caption noting that there is a corresponding InDepth entry, you can click either of these buttons to go there. The left button will take you to the main InDepth section, while the right button will take you specifically to this same photo within the InDepth gallery, where you may see more detailed maps, and additional 2D photos as well in the mini-album pop-up gallery. Both buttons will open a new browser window, leaving the current window in it's place in the circular gallery.
