I am interested in the depth obtainable from the simple act of observation. To satisfy my own curiosities, that has led to designing and making my own cameras as well as using digital equipment in non-conventional ways. The round image is using all the light that came through a lens, and a most direct and inclusive way of seeing. Sam Wang Sam Wang web site |
