I really like those shots. Thanks for the link!
I think the panoramic format works great in the movie setting.

Great stuff. I remember him having a website and book out about 15 years ago? I think I saw a post about it on the old toycamera.com forum.

I think that Toycamera.com post might have been me. I bought the book too back in the day and still look at it regualrly. I really like some of his work. From memory, I particularly enjoyed the shots where he has a person in the frame twice. Also, some lovely location shots from the various movies he's been on.

What I like is that the widelux format is about the same as the wide screen format of the movies.

did you get a (darkroom) print with yours, ed? I heard that the first runs had that. but that may have been just for one of those books, I dunno :P
