I'm Ed Fink, and these are my 360 degree panoramas. I was the first VR photographer in the world to do fullscreen 360 degree panoramas from a helicopter. Today I'm a FAA licensed drone pilot and shoot most of my aerials with a quadcopter.
I'm also a Google Street View Trusted Photographer in Minneapolis shooting Street View tours inside local businesses.
I publish thousands of 360 degree panoramas and virtual tours to Google Maps, where I currently have over 60 MILLION VIEWS.
Take a look below at some of my Google tours, or go to my Google Street View page for more information and many samples.

360 degree aerial panorama at Bob Dylan's childhood home in Hibbing, MN. Look for the musical staff crosswalk at the intersection below, on Bob Dylan Drive, of course. Dylan's house is at the far end of the crosswalk. It's owned by Dylan superfan, archivist, and collector Bill Pagel who occasionally gives personal tours of the house. Really nice guy, stop and visit! Bill also runs the Dylan website boblinks.com
