Durango Public Library opens
A week of special events accompanied the Grand Opening of Durango’s new public library, so along with 360 degree panoramas showing the new building, slideshows and video gave a look at the festivities including poetry classes, art presentations and barbershop quartets, culminating in fireworks above Rim Drive. Deanna Marcum from the Library of Congress even came to celebrate. The library has gone through a number expansion projects since Andrew Carnegie donated $12,500 for the original building over a century ago. The new facility came at a cost of 19 million.

La Plata County Fair – 2008
What a busy week at the La Plata County Fair. Updated daily, this project ended up with 4 slideshows, 5 videos and 4 panoramas along with a schedule of events. Yodit Gidey and Jack Pincus compiled one slideshow, while the rest was done by yours truly. The demolition derby kicked off with a tribute to State Trooper Mark Dold, who died in a motorcycle crash and had been a staple at the event. The video includes a group building a tribute car to crash in his honor. Other fair staples here include the rodeo, midway and livestock competitions. Click here or on the photo to enter project.

FLC Spring Commencement
As one of our first attempts at panoramas, we included 2 from the Spring Commencement ceremony at Fort Lewis College, along with a video. While not perfectly aligned and not true 360 degree virtual reality panoramas, we hope this gives readers a better sense of what the event atmosphere was. Click here or on the image to enter project.

Hozhoni Days
Truly a first attempt at a panorama, Hozhoni Days with the entrance of dancers seemed a perfect place to start. With so much going on all around Whalen Gymnasium at Fort Lewis College, it’s impossible to capture the scope of everything going on in a single photograph.
