The "Moving Panorama" of the Grand Canyon: In 1892, a 500-foot-long painting of the Grand Canyon began its tour, using a scrolling mechanism to simulate the feeling of a hike along the rim.

Todays Challenge: "The Scrolling Hike." Go for a short walk. Every 20 steps, stop and take one photo of the view. Stitch these "slices" of time together into a long, experimental strip-panorama.

Pano Inspiration: These scrolling paintings were the 19th-century equivalent of "Google Street View," providing a continuous, moving perspective of a journey.
