Interest

Push the envelope to the limit and beyond.

The reasonable man adapts himself to the world. The unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man. George Bernard Shaw

Experience

After taking conventional pictures on top of the mountains (Minolta Maxxum 700si) and under the seas (Nikonos V) Yuval moved to a digital camera (Olympus Camedia c3030Zoom) in 1999 and started to stitch individual images together. It is only in late 2003, when a web design customer asks for a virtual tour, that Yuval discovers the science and art of panotools. An exciting time of creative discovery follows.
