Click the screen shot below to view the virtual exhibition. I originally made this  as a quick project to give anyone who couldn’t make it to my exhibition Boundless, a chance to experience it online.

I created it by photographing  a series of 25  images in the gallery and then stitching them into a single panorama. I then converted it to the virtual room with Pano to VR. It gives a great feel for the room, and being able to zoom into each photo is much more akin to an actual gallery experience that an online gallery or slide show. The virtual exhibition format also gives viewers a better sense of how the image placement and order influence the exhibition.

There are some imperfections introduced where the individual frames were stitched together. For example, the crown molding makes the seams between image frames stand out, though these could be fixed with some more time in Photoshop. The resolution was also shrunken down considerably in order to make the download a manageable size (2.5mb).

Sometimes you’re just in the right place at the right time. The trick is to be ready for it and this morning I was. On the way to Marblehead from Boston, I stopped at a little beach to watch the sunrise. It was overcast, so I was not expecting much, but as I stood atop the seawall, I was astounded as the sky lit up in beautiful shades of purple and magenta! It only lasted a few minutes, but was magnificent.

This small swatch of land I stopped at is Beach Bluff Park on the Marblehead – Swampscott Border. I’ve photographed here before as it is an interesting albeit small preserved area. A local group is working to preserve the land here by rebuilding the seawall that protects it. If you like the images, you might consider helping them out with a small donation.

I just came back from cape cod having experienced one of the unique moments that I treasure. Some people call it Zen, or just relaxing, but whatever you call it, these are what I seek and they are great for taking photographs. The place I discovered, while in a tiny little kayak I borrowed is called West Falmouth Harbor. It’s a unique little cove on Buzzards Bay, Massachusetts.

As I left the town landing, I didn’t think the light would be great since there was some cloud cover moving in, but the twilight turned into a moment I won’t soon forget. Bobbing there in the bay, just past the jetty I sat taking it all in as the light dimmed and my surroundings took on the blueish hue of night. Here are a couple of images:
