Show me...


Time to throw out the rule book apparently. What would I do? What could I do? Quite a lot actually, my favorite idea has been to make a giant pinhole camera out of a large room. Yes it has been done before for example the Legacy Project, which helped create this.
The world's largest photograph and it was created with the worlds largest camera. Which started life a building. Above is an example of the actual photograph and to the right is a long exposure of the actual image exposing. The image is "three stories high and eleven stories wide" and was taken on the former Marine Corps Air Station El Toro in Orange County, California. The Marine base is now part of the Orange County Great Park and the photograph was taken as part of the transition from marine base to park.

This idea is cool and fun, yes but not overly inventive. The photographer Abe Morell has done alot of work similar to this. See.








These photographs are made using the camera obscura in it's most literal form. A darkened room. Blacking out all light from a room then creating a hole within
