I’m still trying to tweak this idea of a “stereo view card” recreation. And I’ve got too many freakin’ variables to work with. Do I print the card images as color, or as sepia tones, or as straight black and white? Do I make the pair of images round or square or corner-rounded or domed?…

I’ve been playing with this LomoChrome Purple film now and again. LomoChrome Purple is designed to be shot with a standard 35mm film camera, and it is supposed to replicate the look of infrared film.
