Keynote Speakers
We would like to announce our guest speakers for the Awards Banquet at the 2013 NSA Convention in Traverse City in June. We are very excited to feature Dr. Brian May, Paula Fleming and Denis Pellerin discussing their new book on Diableries at this year's convention. Their presentation will be open to all convention attendees on Saturday night.We had hoped the London Stereoscopic Company would have their new book, "Diableries: Stereoscopic Adventures in Hell" for sale at the Convention, but it has been delayed. The LSC will be taking orders for the book at their table in the Trade Fair to be shipped at a later date. The price for the book is $60 + shipping. The LSC will only be able to accept cash.
Brian May, CBE, PhD, FRAS is a
founding member of Queen, a world renowned
guitarist, songwriter, producer
and performer. Brian postponed a career
in astronomy when Queen's popularity first
exploded, but after an incendiary 30 years
as a rock musician, returned to astrophysics
in 2006, when he completed his PhD and coauthored
his first book, Bang! The Complete
History of the Universe, with Patrick Moore
and Chris Lintott. Stereoscopy has been a
life-long passion, and his second book, A
Village Lost and Found, written with Elena
Vidal, introduced the genius of Victorian
Stereophotographer T. R. Williams to a
global audience.
Denis Pellerin, dedicated photohistorian,
was a teacher for over 30 years and has
been interested in photography since the
age of ten. He was bitten by the stereo bug
in the 1980s, has been fascinated by the
Diableries for over 25 years and has written
several books and articles on 19th-century
stereophotography for various magazines,
institutions and museums. He graduated
as an MA in Art History at the Sorbonne
in 1999 and has since been specialising
in French and British Victorian genre
stereoviews. He is also currently working
on his PhD.
Paula Richardson Fleming, is a
photographic historian with a special
interest in stereo photography. She is the
retired Photo Archivist of the Smithsonian
Institution National Anthropological
Archives, and a Fellow and former member
of the Board of Directors of the National
Stereoscopic Association. Her credits
include publications on 19th-century
photography, as well as the curation of many
photographic exhibits. Her association with
Brian and Denis came naturally from their
mutual appreciation of Diableries.
