    November 1994

    Photo Life Magazine, Canada's leading photography monthly, assigns Mir a fascinating digital photo-illustration, then writes a behind the scenes how-did-he-do-that double page story. This was still in the earlier days of desktop digital imaging by photographers, and the full page 300 dpi image was created on a Centris 610 (something like 33mhz) and 24mb RAM, using a program that only some photographers had heard of, called "Photoshop 2.5." This is life before layers, folks...OUCH!
