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.

I want to partner with you to offer Google Street View virtual tours to your clients! Google hosts the tour in Google Maps, but you're needed to also embed the tour in your client's web pages, blog, or Facebook.

UPDATED!!! HUNDREDS of brand new or recently updated panoramas! It's so time consuming putting the little helicopters and links in the aerials I usually upload to Facebook and Google Maps right away, and only update the website when I have free time. It's been a year since the previous updates.

360 degree aerial panorama at the Telefarm Towers in Shoreview, MN. These are 1436' transmission towers for Twin Cities television stations WCCO, KSTP, KARE, and many radio stations. The towers were replacements for a tower that collapsed in 1971, killing six workers on the tower and one on the ground.
This is the highest altitude quadcopter aerial I've done so far. (It's also higher than all but one of my helicopter panoramas!) Normally 400' is the max alititude for a drone, but the FAA allows flights up to 400' HIGHER than nearby structures.

Now I only shoot interactive 360 degree panoramas, but long ago I photographed rock concerts (and almost anything else!) for fun and profit. Here's a few of my concert photos and a story about shooting a 1981 Rolling Stones concert.
