HOW SUSAN MET DAVID 

 

 

    

 

I first met Susan Pinsky on December 21st of 1973. What brought us together was a mutual interest in antiques and vintage "stuff". At that time she had a little antique shop in West Los Angeles, and I was looking for some 1940's bakelite earrings. as a gift for a woman I was dating at the time.

​

I did not find the earrings I was looking for, but I stayed, and we talked for a couple of hours, until closing time for the shop. To make a long story short, we started dating after a few weeks, and after about three months we started living together. Three years later, in 1977, we got married.

That evening, in bed, I took out the box and started looking at the reels. Here was a three dimensional tour of the USA! We both enjoyed seeing these images in 3D. The next morning we talked about it, and decided that since we were going to garage sales anyway, that the View-Master reels would be another item that we could look for. It seemed like a fun and inexpensive item to collect.

​

A week or two later, at another garage sale, we ran across a cardboard box with a dark maroon bottom and a silver and green lid with "View-Master Lighted Viewer" printed on top. It contained a Model C viewer, with an add-on light attachment. There were also a few reels in the box.

After getting home, and looking through the reels, we also found a printed promotional ad for the "View-Master Personal Stereo Camera". It had a picture of a two-lensed camera, and a description of this camera that could take View-Master stereoscopic pictures just as easily as with a conventional camera. Until that moment we had never thought about how the View-Master pictures were made. But the idea of being able to take our own "personal" View-Master pictures seemed like a fun thing for us to do. We didn't realize then, that reading this promotion would eventually change the course of the rest of our lives!

In 1976 there was no Internet, and no eBay, to allow us to search for a View-Master Personal Camera. In Los Angeles we had a small weekly free classified paper called (appropriately) "The Recycler". It was free to advertise, so we placed a "Wanted: View-Master Personal Stereo Camera" ad.

​

Within a week we got a phone call offering us a V-M Personal Camera, Film Cutter, and a Stereomatic 500 projector and a silver screen. All for $250! At the time $250 was a lot of money for a young couple, and we were totally ignorant as to what the film cutter and projector were all about. So we didn't buy that package! (If we had only known what we know now!). We thought we'd just need the camera and the viewer. And we didn't have that kind of money to spare.

A couple of weeks later we got another phone call, offering just a Personal Stereo Camera for $50. We drove to the seller's house. Looked at the camera and bought it. Amazingly, on that same day we got another phone call, offering another VM Personal Stereo Camera for $50. We decided that it would be more fun for us both to have cameras, so we ended up buying that one, also. It also included a 36" Close-Up lens attachment. We didn't know at the time that this was a relatively scarce accessory!

​

Once again, to make a long story short, we quickly discovered that we needed the film cutter, and found that a few local camera shops still were stocking blank View-Master Personal reels.

1978 Susan Pinsky at desk working on Reel 3-D News newsletter by David Starkman

"Reel 3-D News" was a side business, while we worked at other jobs. After three years of publications, newer jobs were taking up too much of our time - so we stopped publishing. However, we kept getting requests for back issues. So we comb bound each of the three years of issues we had published, and sold them as yearly volumes. "Reel 3-D News" also had classified ads in the back. Readers had been asking us where to find 3-D products. Our first product was a hold-up-to-the-light plastic 3-D viewer that had been made by a local company. They had not made the viewer since the 1950's, but it turned out they still had the molds. We visited the company and made a test order. That turned out well, and became a product we sold for many years.

REEL 3-D ENTERPRISES, INC.   

​

Along the way we found more 3-D products, and this eventually led to our "3-D Catalog" of mail-order products for 3-D photographers.

Susan did all of the editing and layouts for the catalog. We both worked on product descriptions, and I did the product photography. Before home computers, all of the text had to be typeset by a stat house, and the photos had to be converted to a dot-screen format for printing. Susan would take all of these elements, that were on separate pieces of paper, wax them on the back, and paste them onto special boards. She would find clip art in the old magazines and other sources. The final pasted up pages were then photographed by the printer to make the plates for printing the catalog.

​

 

Susan had done the same editing and layout process for "Reel 3-D News". The only difference was that the "typesetting" was done on a typewriter.

  JOINING THE STEREO CLUB     OF  SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA

 

In 1977 we joined the Stereo Club of Southern California (SCSC) (now www.la3dclub.com ). Later I was president of the club for one year, and Susan served as president for two years a decade later.

​

It was a defining change in our lives, as we met all kinds of impressive, creative people, willing to share their ideas and knowledge with us. Susan almost immediately became the official Hostess and greeter. Not long after she became the Membership Director, which she did for over twenty years. With our connection to other 3-D enthusiasts through our company the club expanded exponentially. 

​

The club had regular workshops and outings, board meetings and 3-D photo challenges. Friendships were made that persist to this day.

​

    3D COSMIC PUBLICATIONS

​

In 1982 I went to work at 3-D Video Corporation. They were converting 1950's 3-D films into an anaglyph format to show on television. I was involved in marketing the anaglyph 3-D glasses. One week later Susan got hired to create an anaglyph 3-D comic book that would provide a brief history of 3-D leading up to 3-D Video Corporation. Thus she became the Editor-in-Chief of "3-D Cosmic Publications". After doing some research she hired Ray Zone to write the story for the comic book, Jack Kirby to do the artwork, and SCSC member Tony Alderson to convert the artwork to 3-D.

I mention all of this, because this explains Susan's background for creating the pages you see here online, on her 3-D Legends web site. The only difference is that it is all digital, so she can now do this all on a computer.

​

Her other great talent, and obsession, since we have gone from 3-D slides on film to digital 3-D images, has been digitizing 3-D images. This includes scanning vintage stereo cards, personal View-Master reels, Stereo Realist format slides (our own, and vintage ones from the 1950's that we have collected), and twin 2"x2" slides.

The majority of images that you see on this web site have been scanned by Susan.

DISCOVERING 3-D            

 

One of our regular weekend activities was to go to garage sales. Susan had been going to garage sales with her father since she was a child, and then it became a source for items for the antique shop.

​

At one of those garage sales I noticed what turned out to be a 1950's maroon and ivory View-Master Library Box. The box has a space inside for a Model C viewer (the one I remembered having as a child) and single reels in the rest of the box. This one, however, was filled from end to end with single reels, and dividers neatly typed. In alphabetical order there were dividers for all of the states in the USA. The model C viewer was included separately.

​

I put the items back and didn't buy them. However, when we got back to our car, I told Susan about them, and remembered having some as a child. After hearing my description, she thought it would be a good idea to go back and buy the set, and she did. If I recall correctly she paid $3.00 for the lot!

STARTING REEL 3-D NEWS        

 

Thus began what turned out, eventually, to be a career in 3-D. We started by going to local camera shows to look for more View-Master items. We discovered that there had been a big boom of stereo photography in the 1950's, and that all of the big photo magazines, at the time, had regular monthly columns about 3-D photography, from about 1950 to 1955. We were able to buy these old photo magazines very cheaply, so we bought as many as we could for research. By late 1977, we had learned so much from these that we got the idea to publish a small newsletter, to share the information we had learned about View-Master. In 1977 we published the first issue of "Reel 3-D News".

By our third issue we realized that there were so many other 35mm 3-D cameras made in the 1950's that View-Master topics were too limiting. We added Stereo Realist and all of the other stereo cameras of that era. We decided to keep the "Reel 3-D" name, but designed a logo that consisted of a Stereo Realist format slide superimposed on a View-Master reel, to indicate both formats.

BATTLE FOR A THREE   DIMENSIONAL WORLD COMIC


Susan did all of the layouts of the pages for the comic book "Battle for a Three Dimensional World" before Jack Kirby did the artwork. She hired all the assorted people involved in getting this comic created.  

 

This project launched Ray Zone's lifetime career in 3-D comic books, and a close friendship until his passing.

Along the way, we have been privileged to meet many of the people you will find on this web site. The fact that they are no longer with us was Susan's inspiration to create a web site to share their contributions to the world of stereoscopic imaging.
