of the above, i want to write a little blurb about 3-d center of art and photography, just because i've been wanting to go since i moved here, and the folks that run the place were impressively nice and passionate about their niche.
considered the only 3-d museum in the united states, the center is a non-profit gallery with a rotating collection of exhibitions and theatre presentations, as well as regular workshops. their gallery houses all kinds of 3-d imagery, including antique stereocards, photography, lenticulars, viewmasters, and more. it's $5 regularly, but free on first thursdays.
the theatre presentation last night was unseen ellis island, featuring images of immigrants coming into the states, as well as images of ellis island as it exists today: surprisingly, aside from the museum (on island 1), ellis island (islands 2 and 3) exists unrestored and in urban decay (this is shocking to me). approximately 12 million immigrants entered the united states via ellis island; apparently 50% of all americans can trace their ancestry back to these immigrants. on this note...
