I need some opinions... I'm wondering if this is TOO much.
Its a panorama of 6 8x10 wet plate images on aluminum. equaling a 10inch by 4ft panoramic image.
obviously I was limited on the size to upload as it gets a bit long.
Here is a bigger version if anyone is interested in scrolling sideways to see some more detail in the plates. http://www.matthewmagruder.com/untitled126FULL_MD.jpg
You should carry them to the AAPG meeting so at a couple from this group could see them in the flesh or glass or whatever. Nice work! Will you be going to the Abelardo Morell event on Friday? For me there is some connection between the nature of your work and his. Bill Barber
Six is an interesting number for such a panorama. It worked very well here. There is a quirky sense of balance maintained across the panorama. That and the process itself, along with the passage of time, is wonderful -- and how the process tends to inform (influence) the image, and the image informs the process.
No, this is no good at all. You need to buy the Cirkut camera from me so you can make some 10 X 72's. Hard to do wet plates with the Cirkut though. Sheesh, this is gorgeous.
