3-D Hollywood [Hardcover]

Suzanne Lloyd Hayes (Editor), Harold Lloyd (Photographer)

Book Description

Publication Date: November 1992

This collection of photographs was taken by Harold Lloyd himself after he retired from the screen in 1930. Beginning in the mid-1940s, Lloyd spent over 20 years using a 3-D camera to take pictures of friends and neighbours - Bob Hope, Gary Cooper, Alan Ladd, Richard Burton, Dick Powell, 18-year-old Candice Bergen, Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall. Included with these are more than a dozen previously unpublished pictures of Marilyn Monroe, some of them taken at Lloyd's Beverly Hills estate. All of the photos are reproduced in 3-D and special 3-D glasses are included with the book. Suzanne Lloyd Hayes is Lloyd's granddaughter and provides a foreword recalling her grandfather's passionate dedication to photography.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Lesson From a Master, June 25, 2008

This review is from: 3-D Hollywood (Hardcover)

I am a 79 year old retired photographer. I have been involved in three dimensional photography since 1952. In that time I have taken several thousand stereo slides, but in no way do I equal the stereoscopic accomplishments of Harold Lloyd. The man was one of my idols not only because of his achievments in stereography, but because of his abilities as a consummate performer in motion pictures.

This book is meaningless to the one eyed mind. Those whose satisfaction is gratified by a one eyed picture of reality are now being slowly awakened to the fact that we see in three dimensions, something some of us have been aware of for the past fifty-six years . . . and, much longer. Because of new technology and the public's realization that we see in 3D (how long did that take to come about?) stereoscopy will finally come into it's own.

This book is one of my Bibles and I think that when people realize what they are seeing out of BOTH eyes, they will embrace, enjoy and cherish this volume as much as I do.

Let me add that Harold Lloyd's granddaughter Suzzane is one of the most gorgeous women in the world and there is no way possible that I could wish her more happiness and well being.
