The World’s Longest Photograph?

January 22, 2009

Simon Høgsberg’s 100 meter photograph is beautiful and engaging, which is more important than its actual length.

Thanks to Conscientious for letting me know about this.

BTW, Joerg (sorry I can’t find the umlaut) Colberg has one of the most interesting photo blogs, and I think he lives in or around Northampton.

My son, Caleb, has figured out how to levitate in style. Wife Vivian is just floating there, and my daughter Tobey is a picture on the wall. She sent it to us from Thailand.
