lac.louise.panorama


These panoramas were taken in early June along the Icefields Parkway in Alberta, Canada. Lake Louise, Moraine Lake, and Peyto Lake were heaven on earth places of green and blue beauty. These photos are only partial memories. The photos were taken with a lomo Diana+ camera on Agfa Portrait 120 film, and the panoramic effect was created by being adventurous and advancing the film some random amount between shots, like half-way to the next frame or something wild!--just try your craziest smiling!--then by turning your body in an arc to fully take in the whipping glacial breeze energy from every possible angle, sending the film in, anticipating the best and the worst, and finally getting these cut 4X4 prints from the lab, scanning them, and sewing them back together digitally. Oh, Canada!
