Photojojo!: Simon Hogsberg - The Widest Photo Ever Taken?
Posted by Reid Kistler in "Digital Home Articles & Resources" @ 11:00 AM
"To create "We're All Gonna Die - 100 meters of existence," he stood on a railroad bridge in Berlin for 20 days, photographing strangers. The result: a print 30 inches high, and 100 Meters wide."
The Photojojo! Newsletter provides a link to "100 Meters," a study that is only one of a number of ambitious projects by photographer Simon Hogsberg, whose website is worth a visit - as is Photojojo! itself: an eccentric photography web site that offers the above referenced Newsletter, a Forum, and the Photojojo Store. The latter sells a handful of items ranging from an Inflatable Photo Frame and a Bottle Cap Tripod (seriously!), to Eye-Fi Wireless Memory Cards. The Newsletter appears to mainly link to other sites; beyond the Hogsberg link, recent features include such fun projects as how to "Make a DIY Fisheye Lens from a Peephole and Soda Can," and "Light Painting with Moth Trails!"
