Largest Photographs in the World Largest photographs in the world From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Most of the photographs that are claimed to be the largest are usually stitched from smaller images. The Legacy Project photograph made in Irvine, California is an exception to this in that it was made as a single exposure on a seamless piece of sensitized fabric using a building as a huge camera.

The most recent claim to the largest image stitched together was by the Canadian Museum of Civilization. Largest seamless example Claimed by: The Legacy Project; (Jerry Burchfield, Mark Chamberlain, Jacques Garnier, Rob Johnson, Douglas McCulloh, and Clayton Spada) Photograph of: control tower and runways at the U.S. Marine Corps Air Station El Toro, Orange County, California Dimensions: 32 feet (9.8 m) high x 111 feet (34 m) wide (9.75h X 33.83w meters). Aspect ratio is 3.47:1. On July 12, 2006, six photographers (Jerry Burchfield, Mark Chamberlain, Jacques Garnier, Rob Johnson, Douglas McCulloh, and Clayton Spada), unveiled what Guinness World Records plans to categorize and certify as the world's largest camera and photograph. The 3,552-square-foot (330.0 m2) photograph was made to mark the end of 165 years of film/chemistry- based photography and the start of the age of digital photography. A decommissioned Marine Corps jet hangar (Building #115 at El Toro) was transformed into the world's largest camera to make the world's largest picture. The hangar-turned-camera recorded a panoramic image of what was on the other side of the door using the centuries-old principle of "camera obscura" or pinhole camera. An image of the former El Toro Marine Corps Air Station appeared upside down and flipped left to right on film after being projected through the tiny hole in the hangar's metal door. The "film" is a 32 feet (9.8 m) by 111 feet (34 m) piece of white fabric - one-third the length of a football field and about three stories tall - covered in 20 gallons (75.71 liters) of light-sensitive emulsion as the "negative". After exposing the fabric for 35 minutes the image was developed by 80 volunteers using a giant custom- made tray of vinyl pool liner. Development employed 600 gallons (2271 liters) of black-and-white developer solution and 1,200 gallons (4542 liters) of fixer pumped into the tray by ten high volume pumps. Print washing used fire hoses connected to two fire hydrants. The hangar/camera will eventually be torn down, so the photographers jokingly state that they have also made the world's largest disposable camera.[1] Largest example assembled from multiple pieces Name of project/picture: Unknown (Grand Hall diorama background) Claimed by: Canadian Museum of Civilization Photograph of: Canadian Aboriginal forest Dimensions: 112 m (367 ft) (W) x 15 m (49 ft) (H) Photographers: Rob d'Estrube assisted by Dirk Heydemann of DESTRUBE PHOTOGRAPHY of Victoria B.C. Canada The photography was originally produced on 6x6 cm transparency film shot with a Hasselblad 80mm lens in many overlapping sections. 80 rolls of film were used over several sites with this scene being finally chosen. The site is the estuary of Nasparti Bay at the base of the Brooks Peninsula on Vancouver Island, British Columbia. Shot in 1987 or 1988 to be ready for the opening of the museum in 1989. The installation is actually two scrims of identical size, one behind the other in mirror image to give the viewers a 3- dimensional experience while walking beside it. Within the Canadian Museum of Civilization, one wall of the massive Grand Hall is composed of a scrim covered by a photo of a forest. The photo is about 100 m (328 ft) by 15 m (49 ft).[2] Digital photograph The following are the digital photographs that have held the record for being the largest, beginning with the most recent: Sugar Loaf 152 Gigapixels Name of project/picture: Sugar Loaf - 0.15 Terapix Claimed by: RioHK group Photograph of: Rio de Janeiro Pixels: 152,407,683,304 Year: shooting: 20.07.2010, public availability: 28.09.2010 Full size zoomable image (http://www.gigapan.org/gigapans/58857/) Arches 77 Gigapixels Name of project/picture: Arches National Park - 77 Gigapixels Claimed by: Rongkai Zhao Photograph of: Arches National Park - Park Avenue Trail Head Pixels: 77,966,309,790 Year: shooting: Sept 6th, 2010, public availability: Sept 18th, 2010 Full size zoomable image (http://www.gigapan.org/gigapans/59267/) Related image (http://www.gigapan.org/gigapans/58980/) - Delicate Arch from lower viewpoint Related image (http://www.gigapan.org/gigapans/59095/) - Balanced Rock Related image (http://www.gigapan.org/gigapans/59044/) - Courthouse Towers Related image (http://www.gigapan.org/gigapans/59142/) - Delicate Arch Budapest 70 Gigapixels Name of project/picture: 70 Billion Pixels Budapest Claimed by: 360systems Ltd.

The architectonics of photography Architecture is inherently part of photography. The invention of photography presupposed the architecture of a dark chamber in order to project its naturally formed image. In the earliest known representations of the camera obscura principle, purpose built architectural spaces were drawn to explain the phenomenon. (Fig. 1) The bigger picture is that all photography exists only trough a miniaturized version of this obscured architectural space. The design of a photo camera is the reduced version of the camera obscura room; the name is an autonym. (Fig. 2) Since the inception of photography there have been numerous hybrid experiments between photography and architecture that exemplify a continuous influence of architecture on photography and vice versa.

  • No Easy W a Y Integra Ting Riverside Schools—A Vict
    Praise for NO EASY WAY NO EASY WAY As president of the Riverside Unified School District, Arthur Littleworth led the effort to desegregate Riverside’s public schools. His memoir provides a firsthand account of the challenges of school desegregation and is an outstanding record of that historic time. U. S. Senator Dianne Feinstein INTEGRATING RIVERSIDE SCHOOLS—A VICTORY FOR COMMUNITY VICTORY RIVERSIDE SCHOOLS—A INTEGRATING No Easy Way unveils Arthur’s genius to recognize core behaviors and institutions that undermine a just society, along with his courage, talent and humility to engage and build community to create opportunity for all people. Timothy P. White Chancellor, California State University “Build hope” – Littleworth, says. This is his mission throughout in this memoir as he dreams of racial integration in Riverside schools and as Ed board member, tackles harsh realities on barrio ground and carpeted board rooms to make it come true. All this at the heels of the Watts riots and the Civil Rights movement at large, these accounts take us into the heated debates and Littleworth’s struggles, discoveries and hard-won strategies to move schools away from segregation. Littleworth, a lawyer, uses interviews, meeting minutes, news articles, collaboration with UC-Riverside, rare photographs, court and government documents to build his case, yet, it is more than that – this is a map and conversation on how to put out the fires of despair, prejudice and shape a positive future of life in the hearts of our children, communities and nation at large in these times. Juan Felipe Herrera Poet Laureate of California I am filled with gratitude, inspiration.
