Recently

I'm not always in stereo but I am in quite often and can put myself in easily just viewing 3-4 anaglyph photos with red/cyan glasses. That said, I've been working a lot with anaglyph images since my sessions ended. What I'm beginning to experience is greater depth with many of the photos.
