STEP ONE -- ARRANGE YOUR HIRED GEISHA AND MAIKO IN A STUDIO, HAND THEM A STEREOSCOPE, AND THROW A BUNCH OF STEREOVIEWS ALL OVER THE PLACE

Oh... and don't forget to take off your shoes !

Any commercial photographer who visited Japan back in the 19th and early 20th Centuries usual dished out a part of his budget to hire the lovely Maiko and Geisha for both interior and exterior compositions.

The above is especially nice, as the content is a bit of "self-referencing" photographica --- that is, it is a picture of the girls using a stereoscope, and looking at stereoviews, while being photographed with a stereo-camera that probably took the views scattered all around, and will be used to make the stereoview that will let you view the viewing viewers in your own stereoscope.... while looking at their stereoscope.

OK... we got the girls, and the shot is set up. Time to take care of STEP TWO : www.flickr.com/photos/okinawa-soba/30897826060/
