Photo Galleries and Essays

An informal set of galleries and photo essays that didn’t make the cut for my more formal HamishReid.com site.

Desert Junk

What amazed me most when I first drove into the Californian deserts some thirty years ago was the pervasive junk…

About Pandemonia

Note: as of late 2021, Pandemonia.com is undergoing yet another renovation, so things are probably missing and / or out of place. Sorry about that…

The Site

Pandemonia is an informal place for Hamish Reid’s photography, video, and associated writing, including photo essays, reviews, and more. It’s effectively a less-formal, more immediate version of my HamishReid.com portfolio site, with content that wouldn’t necessarily fit there.

Due to irritating technical reasons, Pandemonia is now split into photography.pandemonia.com, which has all the photo and video stuff under new URLs (sorry about that), and a legacy site here under www.pandemonia.com, which contains a bunch of old articles people still link to. Some day I’ll get around to unifying them all, but don’t hold your breath.

 

The History

Pandemonia has History (it predates the original Netscape browser), and some of the old stuff is still around if you really want to see it, at Old Pandemonia (I leave those pages up as a sometimes-amusing look at what might have passed for a state-of-the-art photography website in the mid-1990’s). Someday soon most of that stuff will be taken down, but in the meantime, it’s still sort of there, if you know where to look.

The Photographer (Hamish Reid)

I am an Anglo-Australian photographer currently living in Richmond, California. I work as a software professional and (sometimes) as a photographer; I’m also a private pilot based at Oakland (KOAK) and Hayward (KHWD) airports.

My more formal photography showcase is at photography.hamishreid.com; and my videos can be seen at my Vimeo and Youtube channels. Other sites include my California from the Side of the Road Tumblr; my @jingletown Instagram stream; and my (very out of date) Yankee Alpha Foxtrot Bravo general aviation flying blog. My (inevitable) Facebook photo page is Hamish Reid Photography.
