ALCATRAZ 5 2017 is a digital photo collage made from imagery found on Google Earth in Street View mode, in the vicinity of Alcatraz Island in San Francisco Bay. The image shows a person using a Trekker Street View Backpack, managing to somehow photograph himself… while photographing the images… that I used… to make this collage. I abused panoramic stitching software to assemble the images.
