The Curator News Feed: June 27, 2014

This week, take a trip through what Curator was reading, from vertical city farms to why Juicy Couture failed and just about everything in between.

Astrophotographer Vincent Brady took 360 degree panoramas to the next level with a 360 degree panorama timelapse of the stars. How he accomplished this effect was by creating a custom rig that joined together four cameras with fisheye lenses that were shot continuously for 3 hours per scene. He then stitched the footage together to achieve the insane effect. -- Colin Does Chewing Gum Make You Look Like a Fool?
