photo stitch
Thursday, October 23rd, 02003here and especially here is some great talk about stitching multiple digital images together to make resultant images that blow away medium format and maybe even compete with large format.

China sends a man into space

The last few weeks
Sunday, October 12th, 02003The Canon digital photography workshop with the Santa Fe Workshops was invaluable. The facilities, instructors and fellow students where great. I think the most important thing I learned was all the things I still need to learn. Should be fun learning them...
In addition to classroom activities, we got to spend a week shooting:
- in Santa Fe
- on the Santa Fe railroad from Santa Fe to Lamy
- in the Santa Fe National Forest among the Fall Aspen at Big Tesuqe
- experimental interstate lights
- at the Red Rocks near Ghost Ranch

When I came home from Santa Fe and the photo workshop last Saturday, I ran into a VW show near my apartment:

This week, of course, was the Balloon Fiesta and I took a lot of pictures. I went to Sunday the 5th's Mass Ascension by myself, but ran into some people form the photography workshop and then Elisa and Anna and later was joined by the Dixons.
Berta (my mother) and Barb (my mom's cousin) came to visit on Thursday. Thursday evening, we ate at El Pinto's and went to the special shapes glow. On Friday we went to Santa Fe and then up into the Sangre de Cristo mountains with the Fall Aspen. We also went to the Georgia O'Keefe museum (which pretty much sucks IMHO). Even though you can capture images of art at most serious museums (like the Mona Lisa at the Louvre), the jack-asses at the O'Keefe museum got all in my face and bent out of shape when I took this picture of Barb. They didn't even have a very large collection. I'd suggest viewing your O'Keefe somewhere else. After Santa Fe, we did dinner at a Japanese restaurant called Minatos which Berta and Barb seemed to enjoy quite a bit. Saturday morning, we saw another Mass Ascension, ate at the Frontier, and then I took a long nap. Today, after we went to the Albuquerque Aquarium and Botanical Gardens, I took Berta for breakfast burritos at Golden Pride, across the Rio Grande to the west mesa, all the way back across town and up to Sandia crest, north along the so called turquoise trail (highway 14) to Santa Fe, and finally back to Albuquerque.
