27 GigaPansViews
A gigapixel virtual tour via the Colorado River of America's premier natural attraction.
Grand Canyon GigaView was crowd-source funded via Kickstarter.com in the spring of 2010. It's 27 images, most of which are full 360 degree panoramas, were captured alongside the Colorado River over the course on an 18 day private rafting trip. The photographer rowed one of the rafts through over 180 named rapids in the course of the 225 mile trip.
To date, Grand Canyon GigaView has been explored by almost half a million people on various platforms including GigaPan.com, Photosynth.net, Google Earth, Bing Maps, and 360Cities.net.

在颱風肆虐的一週後重新回到了蘭嶼。一個人的旅程,我遠遠的瞭望著這座島嶼,希望能記下眼睛所見的一切;也漸漸的有了較為親近的朋友,些許的了解到他們心中的世界。電視播出的,是荒廢的家園;觀光客留念的,是自然的美景;而不可見的,是樹叢中的祖先靈魂、是深山裡的珍貴水源、是農田中等待發芽的芋頭、是家戶裡壞掉的那台電腦、是依附在珊瑚礁上的美味九孔、是隱藏無所不在的輻射。
謹以這些照片獻給我的朋友世偉、Wumis及照顧我的民宿鐘先生與李小姐。也希望能以這些超高解析度的照片,讓各位網友在欣賞之餘,稍稍地了解蘭嶼。

Revisited Orchid Island a week after the typhoon hazard. Traveling alone, I looked at this island from distant, tried to remember everything projected into my eyes. Gradually I had some close friends, and little by little to know the world in their minds. Destroyed land shown on TV; Scenic pictures taken by tourists; but what cannot be seen, are spirits of ancestors within the bushes; are treasurable water in the deep mountain; are the taros waiting to bud in the farm; are the computers crashes in the families; are the calms stick to the coral reef; and the radiation hidden everywhere.
