Biography

Photographer, gallery owner, art dealer, collector, historian.
Currently I'm making panos with a tripod and a 70-200 lens on the Canon 5D and stitching in CS3.
My collection includes a lot of 120 size panos taken with a Kodak panoramic camera. Some are vernacular and a few are commercial. I also have a set of 13 large format panoramas of the aftermath of the St. Francis Dam Disaster of 1928. See www.damdisaster.com for more info on that.

Gear
Canon G9 mounted on the Gigapan robot.
Canon 5D mounted on a tripod with the 70-200 zoom, stitched in Photoshop CS3.

spacer The view is from Hospital Hill in Santa Paula. I have two historic photos from 1888 and 1938 taken from the same hill. I'll be taking more of the city off to the right side (west) when the light is better. This shot contains 60 photos taken with my Canon G9. I was trying for 100 but I think my card and camera combination did not write fast enough and I stopped getting data to the card after 62. I'll adjust the Gigapan to wait longer between shots.
