Love prizes? What about an exciting search and find? Bham Now has teamed up with Owen Stayner, photographer for Google 360 Virtual Tour in Birmingham, to bring you some mid-week fun. Read on to learn the rules of the game and how to win a FREE Bham Now T-shirt.

Who is Owen Stayner?

Owen Stayner has been a professional photographer for 40 years, taking photographs for newspapers and former presidents to everyone’s favorite ice cream duo Ben and Jerry. Impressive, right?

While Stayner’s photography had focused primarily on shots of people, in 2012, a new opportunity wandered his way when he came a Google Trusted Photographer and began creating 360 imaging for Google 360 Virtual Tour.

“This job has been a wonderful chance to photograph the world in a different way than I did in the 20^th century. I love that I’m doing 360 imaging because it makes me think in a new way.”
