Cameras and cities

· San Francisco

I've been thinking a lot about cameras and photography lately. I've long had a love affair with photographers who use large-format or medium-format cameras. I fantasize about shooting with a medium format camera. They do make new medium format digital cameras that are astoundingly expensive. Here is an article by someone with a love of medium-format film cameras that goes into detail about why they are better than digital.

I also came across this article about Earth's largest camera that makes a 3 billion pixel image in the NYT.

I happened to look the other way coming out of BART and spotted this. How could I have missed it? Such a city moment. How cool to have art on a billboard. This piece is by Warith Taha. Here is an article about him from the Headlands Center for the Arts
