Prompt

Birth of Hans Namuth: Born in 1915, he was famous for his wide-format action photos of artists at work, most notably Jackson Pollock, using the panoramic frame to show the "dance" of creation.

Todays Challenge: "The Artist’s Motion." Photograph someone performing a task (cooking, painting, or even typing). Capture a panorama that shows their entire workspace and the motion of their hands within it.

Pano Inspiration: Namuth realized that to understand an artist, you had to see the entire panoramic space where they worked, not just their face.
