The 15 photos below were each taken on Kodachrome
film using a Kodak 3D camera which recorded two frames of the
image on a single 35mm frame. Those two frames then gave a remarkable
3D effect when used with a binocular viewer, which, of course,
we cannot provide here. Nevertheless, Priddy's photos (which
he submitted to 3AD.com in 2009) are still excellent in 2D, and
are only a small portion of the hundreds he took during his brief
Army service, while "obsessed" (his word) with 3D photography.
In subsequent civilian life, Texas-native Priddy worked for Shell
Oil for 37 (+) years, including 3 (+) years in Saudi Arabia,
before retiring with his wife Jo Ann to Hot Springs Village,
Arkansas. His obsession with photography, while shifting to 2D,
has continued and has advanced well into the serious digital
realm.
Priddy's photos below (all from 1957-58) include: various scenes of Ayers Kaserne buildings and parade grounds; several from Field Training Exercises (FTX's); M-48 tanks on display; M103 (120mm) heavy tanks (with turrets covered); and the Bremerhaven Point of Embarkation, which Priddy photographed from ship on his rotation back to the States.
