Third Eye is a natural direction of my stereogram evolution. I was always unsatisfied with the folded paper look in my earlier stereograms. Eventually, I developed procedures to "volumize" elements, and created Second SIRDS to showcase those techniques. Then unsatisfied with the limits of these techniques. I now wanted texture and relief to go with the volumization. It occurred to me, the best way to get this into my stereograms is with stereo photography: sometimes refered to as stereography, or stereoscopy.

So with the Third Eye galleries, I will always combine at least one photo stereoscopic element with all the other stereogram techniques I have used previously. Stereo photography fans may also be interested in viewing the Color Stereo Anaglyph Galleries.
