The '''1906 Lawrence aerial photo''' was the first panoramic aerial photograph of Santa Cruz. It was taken on June 24, 1906, by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_R._Lawrence George R. Lawrence] with a large wide-angle camera Lawrence had invented and built, held aloft by a string of kites. The camera's large negative allowed usable resolution even when zooming in close to the image. Prior to the Lawrence photograph, five [[Panoramic views of Santa Cruz, 1870-1907|panoramic views of Santa Cruz]] had been created by artists - with varying degrees of accuracy and levels of detail.
