Photography Page

One of my hobbies is photography, in particular digitally processed photography and in particular panoramic photography.

Currently I shoot on film, scan and work with the scanned images. I shot for a while with a 1st generation digital camera, and I'll go back to digital in another generation or so when the resolution and tools get to where I need. In the meantime I have essays, travel stories and photo pages.
