Xpan Panoramic Test Shots

Been doing some experimenting with a Hasselblad Xpan camera. I saw some of the documentary work of Michael Von Graffenrie when I was in Paris, his use of the panorama frame to do concerned photography was quite intriguing. He was able to tell a larger story per photograph because of the long horizontals of visual information the Xpan shoots. Often his photographs communicated a bigger picture than a standard 35mm frame can, a bonus with the Xpan is that you can shoot standard frames as well as panoramic. I am thinking of using this camera in conjunction with standard 35mm Leica rangefinders.
