This was my initial personal laboratory for experimental rich-media narrative forms. Includes: Fear and Loafing on the Mayan Riviera (finalist, SXSW competition, 2003), A Journey in Geological Time, Memory and Memorials; and The Best Pizza in the World.
My project celebrating the beauty and history of the Silver State, “All Around Nevada,” won a Best in Competition award from the Broadcast Education Association in 2010. It currently features 147 different locations, all explored in virtual reality panoramas.
The Virtual Wroxton Abbey was published as a CD-ROM by Fairleigh Dickinson University’s Wroxton College in 2004. This virtual-reality exploration of a historically significant 17th-century home and estate in England won the Best of Festival Award from the Broadcast Education Association in 2005. At the time of its publication the project was among the most extensive such explorations ever created, with more than 80 interconnected virtual reality environments, plus hundreds of other images, audio, and video elements.
Voices from the Dawn is my continuing research project, begun in 1978, and requiring a dozen summer fieldwork sessions in Ireland. The project explores the ancient monuments of Ireland in the context of their folklore and mythology. All media work is now completed, and when all the research and writing is finished the site will feature more than 100 different prehistoric monuments. The project won the “Award of Excellence” from the Broadcast Education Association in 2014, and was a featured presentation at the 2012 Museums and the Web conference.
Waiting for the Cars is a book of historical stereographs in 3-D anaglyph conversion from Alfred A. Hart’s stereographs documenting the 1863-1869 construction of the Central Pacific Railway from Sacrament, California to Promontory Summit, Utah. The book was co-authored with Nevada State Railroad Museum historian Wendell Huffman, published by NSRM in October, 2012. The 218 photographs are presented as the photographer intended them to be seen—in three dimensional depth. Included with the book are the 3D glasses that make the images accessible.
