You know — the one that was perfect for holding blow-out parties twice a year, until it got trashed by the webcam pornstars who lived next door? Do you remember that city park where you and your lover first pressed lip, after experiencing — right there among the rusty swings — the best conversation that any two human beings have ever had? And what about the workroom where you surrounded yourself with objects of inspiration, and made yourself a place to pursue a dream?

What if you could glimpse back? What if you could step back through time, if only for a single, frozen moment, and then just — look around? How much of who you were, do you think would be reflected in where you were? I can help you find out.

If you live in the Toronto area, I can suspend your life in high-rez, high-tech amber for the benefit of 'Future You'. Because Future You wouldn't mind looking back at more than just a run-of-the-mill, 20th century, framed-up photo. In fact, Future You will be completely fascinated by a 360º reminder of what it was actually like to stand in your skin at this moment.

Capturing in full 360 may one day be easy as the blink of an eye, but for now it is a specialised art, requiring a custom-calibrated tripod head —

A cardboard mockup of the laropod. (Bewildered listeners not pictured.)

The finished laropod, in all it's unwieldy glory.

At 2 feet tall, the 'laropod' is large for its purpose, but it can calibrate more cameras, with greater precision, than any other professional panoramic head money can buy — it's literally one of a kind. With it, I can go beyond the 360, photographing far above and below the horizon to assemble an entire, fully enclosed sphere. I can hotlink multiple interrelated spheres to allow navigation from one to the next with the click of a mouse, and I can deliver the digital files for viewing at your home or on the web, in multiple resolutions and formats (both PC and Mac). My rates are quite reasonable, and there is a substantial 'artist's discount' (see below).

		360º Panorama		360º x 360º Sphere-O-Rama
Single scene		$150		$350
Each additional scene on the same property		$120		$280
Each interlink between two scenes		$30
Linkable web address featuring your scenes only		FREE

The Artist's Discount: All prices will be discounted by 50% if you are willing to sign a release form, so that I can consider your scene for use in my artwork. This discount may not be available if your scene is on public property (which doesn't require a release form), or if your scene simply cannot used for some reason.

Click contact the experiment, below, for my email address, which you can use to book a session, or just to hit me up for info. I look forward to seeing (and photographing) your favourite places!
