sorry about the little commercial at the start, there. But what a story...it would be a real experience to see these images in person. Bravo to this guy.

Whoa a local guy!!!! I need to pay a visit!!
Now that's Large Format!
I wonder if the camera can be hand held?

Wonder where he gets the film? Also wonder how it's processed. All very interesting, but not very practical for most of us.
there's a 2 pager in "chicago social" magazine...he lives just over the river from me...
oh AND he needs 8 million bucks to do his project. Channel 11 is thinking of sponsoring him so they can do a documentary of the project.
More, maybe better, coverage and backstory here:

With respect, that link didn't add very much and the guy's a foul mouthed jerk, to boot.
This is an incredible amount of work and dedication, but you'd never know it by the blogger's flippant attitude. Forgive me if I missed an "inside joke" here but...jeez. "Just going to be huge prints of Americans"...I'm Canadian and I think that's disrespectful.
The blogger's a rude little oik, true, but it's the video downpage where the "American Portrait Project" is explained in depth. Try that and ignore the text, OK?Quote:
