It's a long pano (1100 pixel across)

The right hand side is chopped off since my flatbed scanner only does up to 
11.

The bottom is chopped off since I hand cut the 11x14 paper into pano
strips and I missed...

The flatbed scan is of course not as sharp as the neg scanned version:

There is also a gray colorshift, as an artifact of print scanning.

The Chinese calligraphy is done using a fountain pen. It's a Japanese
pen so it's more flexible than normal with additional work done by
nibs.com. The chop is directly ink on.

So far, I like the combination! I think it adds some more personal
touch. Hope you agree.
