Oh come on now - what is this - a campaign against me and my work?
Reinhard, it was you who told me about the case on May 29. Otherwise I
would not even be aware of it, cause I haven't visited the Ideenpark fair.
The globorama screen showed all the names (not only mine), why should
it be an advantage for me? Because I live here? Strange conclusion. Do
you really believe, the viewers stand there open-mouthed staring at
the names of photographers instead of enjoying the pictures?
I accept, that my opinion is not shared by the ones who answered my
post. But my opinion is definately not biased.
I have seen the screen in Karlsruhe some months ago, when it displayed
a heli-flight over some mountains. A 360-degree-film, great stuff that
was. Since then I thought it is a great development, building such a
screen. And I still think, it is great for displaying panos. Does this
bias me?
I am sure, every wwp panographer has some fame in his hometown region
or is at least working on it, thats just normal.
Since 4 years I am building up a collection of now nearly 400
roundshots, published as QTVR on my website. The tourist information
site links to my panos, the city hall has purchased a 640 cm wide
print, etc. That's my work and my effort! Why should the local
newspaper not write about it? Btw are these facts no secrets,
everybody can read it on my homepage.
Please come down to earth. Yes, I am a fan of the globorama
development, but I am not your enenmy!
Cheers
Josh
