19th Century Yosemite in 3D
BoingBoing: “Carleton Watkins was a critically-acclaimed landscape photographer in the 19th century. His photos of Yosemite are considered groundbreaking examples of stereoscopic photography. Smithsonian has a feature on Watkins and a pleasant narrated slideshow about his Yosemite 3D photographs.” Update: I just realized that this is the same link that Brian posted yesterday.
