: THE LEGACY PHOTO PROJECT SUCCEEDS!
: Susan B. July 10, 2006, 10:29:29 PM

Just received word from friends who were involved in the Legacy project--it was a success!

I'm cutting and pasting some information that just came in:

Friday night 35 volunteers got on the 110' long canvas and worked as a team to coat the emulsion, keenly led by Jerry Keane. The rest of the volunteers helped lower and raise the canvas, led by Tony Long. The coating took an hour and 45 minutes.
 
The canvas was exposed the next day, Saturday, July 8 at 11:00 for 35 minutes. Later that day at 5:30, 60+ volunteers showed up to help process the image. Again this complicated and highly detailed effort was led by Jerry Kean.

Congrats to all involved or who volunteered. (Aline Smithson and Kathleen Mclaughlin Lauria were present and involved)

Seeing this, random thoughts go through my head:

They redefine Large format photography...
And I thought that Mammoth cameras were bulky...
And I thought the films produced in the caravana obscura were big... (Felten-Massinger's caravan www.gada.be/caravana.obscura )

That pretty well sums it up.


---> Don't know if they'll offer contact prints?  ;D

I'm so glad they managed to do this. What an epic undertaking - it has a real 19th Century feel to it in the grandness of its scale.

Epic indeed. I'm in awe over the image they were able to capture, the time and dedication, etc...what does one possibly say to such a great thing. I still cannot comprehend photography and how a hole and light are able to produce images on paper. What a wonderful thing. Good work by all involved and a standing ovation.
