Through my childhood, Viewmaster was my most magical toy. I just have one and still keep it for more than 15 years with various image disks. It is like binoculars you look through and see a stereoscopic image of an instant from somewhere on the earth.

Those images are so realistic (and poetic in a way) that you feel you're looking through a window of a time/place travel ship. To see the stereo images of frozen-in-time people, makes you afraid yet fascinated. And if the instant is from a mountain top, looking down the earth, you lose your balance and you're amazed of the height. And sometimes those instants are from far cultures, they make you get confused and you wonder.
