"Film gives me a warmth and versatility that I can't get with digital images", he states.

About Loupe

Loupe was created out of a need to display photographs from Flickr in a gallery. Loupe is powered by Rails, the excellent framework for Ruby. It uses the rflickr API library to access Flickr. For displaying images it uses SlimBox, a clone of Lokesh Dhakar's LightBox JS library. Loupe also uses icons from Fam Fam Fam's Slik icon set.
