Re: Panoramic photos



FYI: There was a 365 degree panoramic photo taken in the House of David
park (Benton Harbor, MI.) - probably about 1911 or so, perhaps even a
little before - where the photographer was able to position himself 3
different times in within the same photo in 3 distinctly different
poses.  Quite interesting.  There is a very large print of it on display
at the House of David Historeum & Preservation Society. If you wish to
contact them, here's the link:
