Boulder Panorama 
Where is Boulder?
The City of Boulder is located at the base of the Rocky Mountains, northwest of Denver, Colorado (U.S.). Boulder was settled in 1858 as a mining town but has since grown to include industries such as aerospace and biological research as well as manufacturing (e.g. electronic equipment, computer software and medical supplies).
Boulder is home to the University of Colorado, the National Center for Atmospheric Research in addition to other government and private research operations. Boulder is also well known as a mountain sports, wellness and "New Age" mecca.
For decades photographers have been attempting to capture Boulder's majestic front range mountains—known to residents as the Flatirons. Although this could be accomplished well from several different locations, it seemed, the most opportune spot was the Scenic Overlook located at the top of Davidson Bluff southeast of the city. And this is the location I chose to conduct my photographic study.
This project was inspired from an earlier group of test shots that I pieced together in December of 2006. My "new and improved" panoramic image of the Flatirons (and the City of Boulder) was created from approximately twenty photographs which taken from the Scenic Overlook in January of 2007. These photographs were taken without the help of a tripod. As such, I was not able to move except for rotating my body (and the camera) to snap each image. I was able to center my view turning to the extreme left and rotating approximately 10 degrees per exposure. These images were somewhat crudely "stitched" together to give the impression of one extremely long, seamless image.
Various Projects
Box Modeling Demo
Perhaps a more descriptive title would be A Demonstration of Basic Polygonal Modeling. Polygonal modeling or poly-modeling (also known as "box-modeling" to many 3D enthusiasts) is a technique where the elements of basic 3D shapes (most often a box) are manipulated [virtually] and sculpted into representations of more complex objects. This is not meant to be a tutorial. It was only intended to be a basic demonstration of the techniques. The animations provided in this demo feature a few basic objects as they are being constructed.
