As Film Fades photographer Makes a Huge, Huge Statement
"Photographer Dennis Manarchy has taken the idea of large-format and ... enlarged it. To make his portraits, 
Manarchy goes inside a 35-foot-long camera. He uses a 6-foot-tall negative. And to process the film, he says, 'you gotta get really nasty.'"
"The result, he says, is the 'most unbelievably beautiful thing you've ever seen in your life.'"
"Granted, he's biased. And I haven't been to his Chicago studio to see the portraits he's already made — but can only imagine the spectacle and resolution of a negative that large."
"This may not be the world's largest camera. There was one behemoth in 1900 that used wet plates. In 2007, Guinness recognized a project that used an entire airplane hangar as a camera (though that was more of a camera obscura). There's also the "camera truck," self-described as the "world's biggest mobile camera" — but that's also a pinhole."
