Well, you might think that a Guillow glider with a 1 foot wingspan and a stereoscopic camera rig with an adjustable stereo base mounted to the wings would have a rather limited range, as far as depth is concerned, but you may not know that I also have a Resizing Machine. This Resizing Machine is very similar to my Time Machine (which, BTW, you can see here), but manipulates the _size_ of things instead of the _time_ of things. This is obviously very helpful if I want to shoot aerial photographs of snowflakes (very, very, very small) as well as mountains (very, very, very big).

If anyone is concerned about the cameras falling off the glider… it’s not going to happen…
The cameras were securely mounted to the glider, but I just added a slide bar, so I can change the stereo base. I slid the cameras together a bit for this photo, so you can see it better.

I found a reason to climb back into my Guillow glider and take her for a spin… I mounted a stereoscopic camera rig on the wings.

3D Glasses Put on your 3D glasses.
I managed to get Janice up in the glider, today, and we went to look for your house. Janice got pretty excited, as you can see, but we had a severe visibility problem. Y’all were totally fogged in. We could hardly even see Hwy 101, so looking for your house would have been a waste of time… and downright dangerous.
Better luck next time. :-)
