This Autostitch series is an extension of my work with panoramic photography, which I began in the early 1970s by pasting darkroom prints together. I continued the work in the 1980s using a 35mm camera with a built in panoramic mask and in the 1990s using a view camera with a custom-designed panoramic film slide. In the early 2000s I began to cut and repiece photographs using Adobe Photoshop. For the photographs in this series, I used a variety of cameras, as well an iPhone and an iPad. Each photograph is composed of several smaller photographs electronically pieced together using an algorithm created by Cloudburst Research and offered in the apps Autostitch and Calico.
