How to return from & to nodes from a path?

I want to return one row for each segment in a path. This is the Cypher code I've devised so far. There must be a better way.

  match ... --> (i:IMAGE)
  match p = (i)-[*]->(f:IMAGE) where NOT (f)-->(:IMAGE)
  with nodes(p) as q
  with [[q[0],q[1]], [q[1],q[2]], [q[2],q[3]], [q[3],q[4]], [q[4],q[5]], [q[5],q[6]]] as tuples
  unwind tuples as seg
  return seg[0].name as from, seg[1].name as to

My biggest problem is that it only goes six levels deep. Another inconvenience is that it returns lots of null rows for shallow paths.

APOC Procedures can help here, notably the function apoc.coll.pairsMin(), which takes a list, such as [1,2,3,4,5], and breaks it down to a list of adjacent pairs, in this example case: [[1,2], [2,3], [3,4], [4,5]]

You can use this to get pairs of adjacent nodes in the list:

...
UNWIND apoc.coll.pairsMin(nodes(p)) as pair
RETURN pair[0].name as from, pair[1].name as to

Thank you. This is what I had hoped to find.
