Legendary LIFE photographer Bill Eppridge passed away today at age 75. Here is a portrait I made of him at last year's Eddie Adams workshop. To learn more about Epp, check out this  link. And to see some of his amazing and historic images, click here .

I recently returned from Venezuela, and while I was there I shot some panoramic black and white images on film. I recently got the scans back from the lab, and here are a few of the best photos. Enjoy!
