Not all of the images on this site are phantograms, but many are. I'm a huge phant-fan.

So what is a phantogram? A 'phant' is designed to precisely imitate normal vision. Give each eye the same information it would get if you were there, and the images will jump right off the pages.

How to do it? Shoot from an angle, reverse the effects of perspective, and resize proportional to the original scene. If you want to learn to do phants, here's a tutorial on making them. They're not easy, but they're extremely fun and cool once you get the hang of it.

Sadly, ... when you're using a computer, YOU'RE SEEING THEM WRONG!

So, ... I invite you to see these properly, and license you do so, by printing them out. I hereby authorize you to home print for your own personal, one-time non-commercial use: one copy of anything you see on this site. Many are around 600 dots wide, which is great for a 2" to 3" wide image, and not bad somewhat larger.

Please respect this license. If you're unclear on what you are allowed to do, please ask. If you want to use any of my images for commercial purposes at a reasonable cost, please ask.
