SITE UPDATE - June 13, 2017
This page will likely no longer be regularly updated as other interests have pulled me away from this projects, as well as most phones and cameras have panoramic features built with automatic stitching, so it has taken away some of the fun of putting together a series of photographs into one seamless one. Its also disheartening to see so many people steal your images for their own personal / commercial use without providing proper credit or receiving written permission. The following individuals, organizations and companies have not asked nor received my written permission for the use of my original work or art. Guess they can't read the "Use of Images" disclaimer.
Just because I've permitted a couple of people / organizations (City of Marion, Iowa History Magazine) to use it does not mean its fair game for you. Welcome to "Panoramic Images of Iowa", this website contains a collection of both historic and current panoramic images from around the State of Iowa, with a primary focus on the downtown areas of the community.
This collection includes historical panoramic photos created between 1907 and 1913, by traveling photographers such as F. J. Bandholtz. In addition to the historical panoramic photographs, I've attempted to visit the Main Streets taken by these photographers over a hundred years later and attempt to recreate their photographs so that everyone can see how our communities have evolved with the passage of time. PLEASE TAKE A MOMENT TO CHECK OUT THIS SITE... Imagination Images of Iowa: This site contains great panoramic images of Iowa, Nebraska and Kansas, with near perfect reproductions of the 100 year old Panoramic Photographs. Great photograph products available. Ken creates panoramic photographs that I only dream of. |
