“Flint’s Gigapxl Project is an attempt to capture America in a series of very high-resolution portraits. Beginning in 2000, Flint has made about 1,000 gigapixel photographs during long road trips covering thousands of miles. His last trip lasted six weeks, stretched 9,000 miles and resulted in 150 images.”
This is pretty neat. People forget that a large format camera can have simply amazing resolving power when the negative is enlarged. I like the idea of capturing America in such high resolution sounds like fun. I hope Unesco will use his camera will be used to record endangered archaeological sites. I wonder if there is room for someone to take very low resolution images of America. 🙂
