For lack of a better title, I have decided at present to call myself the "Webmaster" for Panoramic-Arts.org. Pertinent Facts: My name is Richard Schneider and I live in the state of Maryland in the USA. I have a Master of Fine Arts (MFA) degree from the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT). I am a past Secretary/Treasurer and magazine Editor for the International Association of Panoramic Photographers (IAPP). The US National Archives building (on the right) in Washington, DC., as seen from the roof of the National Gallery of Art. Photo by Richard Schneider for the National Archives. December, 2003. Fuji GS617 camera with color negative film used. Digital "remastering" done in Adobe PhotoShop. I have made numerous friends and learned an immeasurable amount of knowledge from the panoramic photography and imaging community. I have served a wonderful association in IAPP and have tried spreading the word about the panorama whenever I can. With this web site - and all that it proposes - I hope to continue working in a new and exciting direction. Richard Schneider (right) with Argentinian panoramic photographer Alberto Gandsas (left). Photo was taken in April, 2004 at Alberto's exhibit, "Panoramic Photography in the Context of Fine Art", in Washington, DC.  Recently, I have added work of my own to this site.
