The camera, of his own design, places an image on a 9 x 18" piece of color negative.
Impressive enough. An absolute ton of money must have gone into all that, from inception thru competion!
In a way it reminds me of that huge view camera that was designed solely for taking a picture of a set of railroad cars and engine. Something like 4' x 6' plates were used! Awesome...
Anyhow, not all that practical.... <g>

Sigh... In the middle of the night I was wakeful and turned on my bedside radio to NPR - the replay of Leonard Lopate's inerview with Clifford Ross was on. This morning, a friend sends me the link to the site showing the photo.
It pisses me off.
This guy took a year to make this kinda pretty but
rather ordinary postcard photo
a 5 x 10 foot print? (1) Looks better to me with a good chunk trimmed
off the bottom
(2) surely the mountain has a name. Couldn't he
tell us what it is and where
the photo was taken? (my first guess, not
doing and research really
was Mt. Shasta.
(3) Ross stresses that he is doing this for art's
sake - yet to me it is
mainly a technical tour de force.
Anyone else have a simliar reaction? (Or the oppoiste?)
