I'm on my way to Paul's
The full title of this 360/720 panorama includes the above phrase, but is prefaced with: In the manner of Robbert Frick.
Robbert Frick is a Los Angeles-based artist. He attached a camera to his car and drove around, generating pictures that way. This method is both relevant to LA and elegantly minimal.
My friend, Paul Zelevansky suggested I do something similar with the equipment I use to generate 360/720 spherical panoramas. At first, I didn’t think this would work. Then, I became intrigued. It might generate really different kinds of images.
So…I got a tripod out, mounted theVRkit rotator on it, and put all this on the floor of the passenger side of my Subaru Forester Sport. I put my iPhone 11 with my Sandmarc fisheye lens in the Rotator clamp, and set off.
I didn’t have to go very far before I had my first pano. You have to know my neighborhood in West Des Moines to understand how really smashed up this picture is.
1. My house is sizable, but it doesn’t have 3 garages on the first floor. It doesn’t even have two garages.
2. I appear to be going east, to the right of my house, but the picture has moved everything that actually is west of my house to the east.
3. Not to mention my left arm has taken the place of my right arm in the first reflection and then moves back to its proper place in the next reflection.
There are many more instances in this image of fractured duplications and reflections. Enjoy!
This image is a 360/720 spherical panorama. It is best viewed in a VR headset such as the Oculus Quest 2, but can also be viewed happily just as it is.
