I've been interested in panoramic photography for many years. We've accumulated a small collection of vintage panoramic photographs, ranging in subject from Niagara Falls in 1924 to letter carriers in front of the Minneapolis Post Office in 1937. Advances in digital cameras and software now make it possible to create my own panoramas, and I'm just tickled to be able to do it. Here are some of my results.
If you like any of these enough to put up in your home, I'd be flattered and happy to sell you a copy. Email me for further information. I'm also available for commission work, if you have an interior or exterior panorama you'd like created. I live in the Memphis TN area, but I'd be happy to travel to your area to shoot your panorama. I get to the Washington DC and San Francisco areas fairly often for my day job.

Here is a first attempt at VR photography. The event is the 7th annual Branson Blitz of the Internet BMW Riders. Click on the picture to bring it up in a viewer.
It's not quite working yet, but I'll get there.
These pictures are from the old coastal defense batteries located in the Marin Headlands north of San Francisco. I found the old emplacements to be stimulating subjects for panoramic photography.This is Battery Mendel. To get to these batteries you have to drive up into the Headlands and beyond the first set of batteries. These batteries are all near the lighthouse, I think it's Point Bonita Lighthouse.
This is Battery Wallace. There is another emplacement right next to Wallace, I don't remember the name. Interesting thing about these, they were originally built as open gun emplacements, but were covered over to provide some protection from aerial attack. Nowadays you can't tell there wasn't always a hill over them.
Battery Mendel again...
This is a sunset over San Francisco Bay, shot from the parking lot at Coit Tower. Print size is 6"X44".
This is a panorama of the street in front of Wall Drug in Wall, SD, taken in July 2001 while on a family trip. What a tourist trap, and way more crowded than the beautiful Badlands. We both hated the place. So I decided to nuke the sky. It's much more interesting this way, dontcha think?
