Note from Off-Ramp

This week, Off-Ramp is focusing on photography. You'll hear from the shooter who was with Robert Kennedy on the night he was murdered, and about the history of 3-D pictures.

And we'll tell you about the picture displayed here – it's a phantogram.

Keystone-Mast Collection

KPCC's Steven Cuevas visits UC Riverside's California Museum of Photography, which is the home to tens of thousands of stereoscopic images from around the globe.

Those pictures were snapped by photographers working for the Keystone View Company of Pennsylvania. They document life from the first half of the 20th century... and decades later, they deliver unmatched depth and clarity.
