He Says, She Says... Embracing Perfection

Tweet

Hello, Dear Reader:

Being Green - Going Solar

Tweet

Hi Folks:  Before I get into this week’s ‘Being Green’ post, last Friday I talked a bit about ‘Modeling and Monitoring‘.  I came across a link this week from the American Society of Landscape Architects on “Sustainability Toolkit: Environmental Models” that fits in with that post, so I wanted to mention [...]

Stair-Stepping Through a Panoramic Photograph

Tweet

Hi Folks:

I’ve written a couple of posts before on panoramic photography; this one is about an idea, an experiment if you like, that I tried recently.
