Cleopatra

Hello Friends,

This is Cleopatra, an iguana we met at Downtown LA Maker Faire last weekend. Erick is her caretaker, and he also has a dog, Chewy, and a pet rock, Kid. One great thing about most reptiles is that they can effortlessly hold still for quite a long time, making it easy to take a left eye shot, slide over a bit, and then take a right eye shot. Cleopatra's patience made her a perfect model.

I took the two shots with my Google Pixel 9 Pro cellphone. Cleo was sitting atop a cardboard box whose corners I cropped to to turn this into a phantogram in StereoPhoto Maker and then did some masking and other enhancements in Photoshop to finish this image.

I'd like to welcome those of you I met at Maker Faire and are new to my image-of-the-week emails, hope you enjoy them. Be warned I use this platform to express my concerns about the state of the world, and if it bugs you there's an unsubscribe link toward the bottom of this page. That said this week I'll take a break from my political ranting.

Wishing for better,

Barry Rothstein
