Message for Rex

Rex - I remember a few months ago you posted about panoramic/ artistic narrow strip posters. Are you still looking?

I saw some in Rome just recently - a nice series of Rome 'sights'. Not sure if they are the format you were looking for as I can't find your original post now.

They were about 24" by 4" by a company called Create Panoramic.
(There was a website on the back: www.createpanoramic.com - but unfortunately it's 'under construction' ...)

Let me know if it's what you're looking for ...

Steve

Yes, it sounds very much like what I had in mind. I did subsequently discover, and explore the world of both amateur and professional panoramic photographs - - and it occurred to me that ther are some print your own possibilities, but I found it difficult to make decisions. I suppose it's the same reason that... as is the case with "regular-sized" art/posters of/from travel destinations... I don't tend to buy from the internet or from sources other than "when you're there".

Buying from a catalog is somehow not really the same.

Still, I will e-mail this thread to myself, and file this away. If I stumble across it some months hence, I'll let you know if the "under construction" comes to fruition.

Thanks... and...

Best wishes,

Rex

Since the srarch "engine" gets so maligned, I thought would add that my earlier post CAN be found fairly readily (of course, I recognized its header, since I created it) by simply searching "panoramic".

Since "we" kick the dirt so often over its deficiencies, I decided I ought to acknowldege that it hasn't totally lost functionality yet!

Rex, seeing that this post has got your attention , I was wondering if you could do me a favor.

With WebTv I can't get the complete URL for the threads here on Fodors.
And I'd like the URL for my "ROME: 'Ides Of March' Julius Caesar's Assassination Walking Tour", it will be ~ #63 if you click-on my screen name.
I was wondering if you could post that URL on this thread for me so I can save it.
Thanks...Regards, Walter

But I am curious, Walter - - can you not e-mail a thread to an account like hotmail or Yahoo, for example? That will retrieve a URL also.

Rex - If you'd like any of Rome in that format I'll be back there tomorrow and would be happy to post you some.

Hmmm... that's an awfully generous offer. Probably yes. St. Peter's, interior would definitely be appealing, and/or Vatican Musei (what subject matter? Sistine?) Pantheon or Piazza la Rotonda, or Trevi (not well suited for Trevi?); I wish I knew what choices you can recall.

There was a St Peters's exterior, Rex - but no interior.

As I remember, the others were mostly of 3 'sights' (- rather than a single 360 view) artistically 'fused'. They included all the usual e.g Trevi, Colosseum, Forum ...

They were rather nice (- and good value at only € 2.80 each). Sorry I can't be of more help.

Let me know what you think ...
I'll check back later.

At that price - - and with the generousity of your thinking of me... sounds like I have nothing to lose. I'll take any two or three that you think are worthy purchases. I'm happy to gamble that even if it sould turn out that I don't like them, someone here will be interested. That's what eBay is for, huh?

Let me know how much, and how to pay you (PayPal?). E-mail me for shipping address.

Thank you very much.

Just stumbled across this old post... regrettably, the createpanoramic.com website is still "under construction" a full year later.

And did I ever pay you, Steve?
