AMARC, the Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Center, 1999

I returned to AMARC earlier this year. My last visit was 10 years ago. Most of the B-52's are gone now; only about 100 remain. The rest were cut up for scrap as part of treaties with Russia. This is a satellite photo.

I shot several panoramas of the planes at AMARC and have included two here, one of B-52's and one of F-4's. Each is about 500k, so please be patient while they load. I'll be adding more traditional photographs of AMARC taken in 1999 shortly. You can also see the photographs I shot of AMARC in 1989.

I've discovered that these 360 degree panoramas give an amazing sense of space that you can't get with traditional photography. They capture much more of what it's like to actually explore modern ruins. They are composed of a dozen separate photographs taken with a 20mm lens and stitched together with Apple's Quicktime Authoring studio. I've taken others in the previous year and am hoping to add them to my website soon... the S.S. United States, Cape Canaveral launch pad ruins, the New York State Pavilion from the 1964/65 World's Fair, Ellis Island and a U-boat bunker near Bremen, Germany.
