Along
Interstate I-5 in the state of California one passes many mundane rest
stops where for a few brief moments we relieve our bladders, stretch
tight limbs, munch sandwiches, check the load, walk the dog, horse or
cat and generally relief the stress of the highway. I have long thought
that they were an viable photo assignment, since I saw in their very
mundaneness an artistic challenge. The only rule is that they be shot
while at a California reststop on I-5. These photos were made with a
digital Olympus
C3030z camera, (after a long
hiatus from silver based film) on trips to San Diego and back to Nor-Cali.
These digitally stitched panoramas were compiled with Enroute's QUICK
STITCH and PANORAMA FACTORY software. Then sepiatone was applied in
Photoshop6. To read an excellent article on digitally applied sepiatone
