Guinness Certifies World's Largest Photograph and Camera
Thursday, 08/09/07 - The Great Picture -- the world's largest photograph -- will have its premier showing September 6 to 29, 2007 at Art Center College of Design, South Campus Wind Tunnel, Pasadena, California.
The Great Picture was created over the nine months leading up to July 2006 by six well-known photographic artists collectively known as The Legacy Project, aided by 400 volunteers, artists, and experts.
Working in their jet-hangar-transformed- into-camera, the group hand-applied 80 liters of gelatin silver halide emulsion to a seamless 3,375-square-foot canvas substrate custom-made in Germany. Development was done in a custom Olympic pool-sized developing tray using ten high volume submersible pumps and 1,800 gallons of black and white chemistry.
The size of the photograph is 107 feet, 5 inches by 31 feet, 5 inches. (from Cameratown News)
