Homemade Panoramic Camera
This weekend I finished making the first panoramic camera and got a chance to shoot some film in it.

The shot I was taking above appears in the left frame on the picture below.

The more recent wedding shoots that I’ve been booking have included a set of engagement mini cards in the portrait package. They’re these cool little cards that are printed on both sides in full color and can say whatever information you might like.

Drizzly Downtown Tulsa

I wasn’t really sure what to do but I’ve been in awe lately of the low hanging clouds that have been blocking some of downtown Tulsa’s taller buildings. I wanted to get a panoramic shot of the Bank of Oklahoma tower with clouds sweeping past it’s logo. (more…)
