The Magazine Design Weblog’s Pariah S. Burke leads us to an interesting article about photography and what people are capable of doing when they set their mind to it. Why wait for a better resolution camera to come out from a manufacturer when you can build your own “110-pound, 6-foot film camera that produces what experts say are some of the highest-resolution landscape photographs ever made.” That’s what I call entrepreneurship.
According to this AP article (at Excite), it takes 2.6-gigabytes to have a digital copy of the 9″ by 18″ negatives. The photographer, Clifford Ross, is unfortunately “confined by the size of available paper, [meaning] the images will remain 5 feet-by-10 feet - at least for now.” When was the last time you couldn’t do something because you didn’t have enough paper?
