Gigapxl Project Takes on America

Using a custom-made traditional 9×18 inch view camera and advanced high resolution digital scanning techniques, the Gigapxl Project is slowly, but surely, assembling an ultra-high resolution portrait of America. How high is high resolution? Try 4 billion pixels per image. That typically results in a print 10 x 20 feet. In 2003, a 21-foot long panorama of San Francisco was displayed in that city’s Palace of Fine Arts/Exploratorium. So far 91 cities, 28 national parks and 502 locations have been photographed on a read trip that has, since the year 200, amassed over 30,000 road miles. A gallery of images is available here.
