AZ,

<< Part of seeing art is discovering the ways the artist
has given to see the image.  Think of scrolls.  One isn't expected to look
at the whole image at once. The problem is that panoramas have a conflict
with the means there are to display them. Put them in a frame and it forces
the viewer into a conventional picture seeing mode. The viewer has to learn
to see the picture in many ways. Look at the picture the way you view a real
scene. >>

I like it! The the need for the viewer to scan an image that is too wide to 
be grasped in a single glance may well be the definition. That is definately 
what I like most about making panoramic images - the viewer has to do 
something other than just stand there and stare.
