[Leica] IMG: Now trying to make photos, not just playing around with a novelty

[imagist3 at mac.com (Lottermoser George)]

These continue to be quite visually interesting. The subjects which  
almost demand a panorama approach I find most interesting. The  
chained statue - less so for my eye. This was my problem during the 5  
years I worked with the xpan and the 12 years that I occasionally  
took the 12x20 out for a drive. I rarely seemed to find myself near a  
subject which "demanded" a panorama view. So many of my negatives  
appeared to be forced, "tricky" compositions. Of course, now that I  
have sold both, and you present these, and folks point us to the new  
range of panorama cameras, I begin to see panoramas all around me. ;~)
