The Russian Chronicles (Far East)
The Russian Chronicles, an experiment in realtime, online, interactive
photojournalism began September 11th, 1995 in Vladivostok, when
photographer Gary Matoso and writer Lisa Dickey embarked upon
a 5,000 mile, two month journey across the Russian heartland.
They are traveling with a digital camera and two laptop computers,
recording their digital stories as they go and relaying them back to
FocalPoint f/8 in San Francisco every two to three days.
There, Chuck Gathard and Tripp Mikich at FocalPoint f/8 will edit and compose the images and text into the Web pages. All HTML and Graphics © 1995

FocalPoint f/8 (focalpt@f8.com ), San Francisco CA, along with
