As an aside to this, and to interject something not political (Lordy, I HOPE it's not political), a Time-Life photography series book I have from the 1970's shows a picture of the largest camera ever made. Taller than a human being, it rested on a flatbed railroad car, and was commissioned by a train company to take exactly one photo. Don't look for it on Ebay; the camera was dismantled after the shot was made, if I recall correctly.

I have an actual question about photography. :) There is a photographer who had a custom-made camera and made an enormous print of a meadow with a mountain in the background. The print apparently took up an entire wall at a gallery here in NY recently, and the level of detail was such that the closer you go to it, the more you felt as if you were walking through the field. I was telling a friend of mine about it last night, but I can't remember the photographer's name and I had no luck with Google. Does anyone know the name of this guy?
Thanks, Amita
