360 Seapoint Beach, Kittery, Maine Summer 2007

This is my first 360. It is a project I’ve created for myself. I will begin to take 360 degree videos of places I visit.

Project Alabama

Natalie Chanin is an inspiration to me. She is the woman that started Project Alabama. She is a leader in the sustainable design movement. Unfortunately, Project Alabama is no longer. I never heard the full story of why it ended. Perhaps the cost of making clothes by hand in [...]

www.foldschool.com

Here is an example of his work. I’ve wanted to steal this idea for some time. [...]
