Suzanne lloyd Stock Photos and Images
His granddaughter, Suzanne Lloyd, was kind enough to grab a couple hundred photos and put them in this glorious book along with a pair of 3-D glasses (shaped like Harold's iconic rims). We Fleshbot folk usually spend a lot of time hating on 3-D things, but this is some of the finest extra-dimensional imagery we've ever seen; the forty-four stereoscopic pictures in the book speak highly of Harold Lloyd's obsession with the medium. Lloyd was convinced that the 3-D format was the wave of the future (sound familiar, Porn Valley?) and he invested millions in the technology, even forming the Hollywood Stereoscopic Society with a bunch of his film industry pals. As New York Times reviewer David Carr notes, "The 3-D effects rarely rise above gimmickry, but the photographs document a certain era of American beauty: cheesecake frosted in come-hither."
