The world's largest photograph.
It will be 31 feet by 111 feet and will take 10 days to develop. It will use 20 gallons of emulsion, 200 gallons of black-and-white developer solution, and 600 gallons of fixer. What image is worth this grand effort? El Toro Marine Corps Air Station. Why that? Because the hangar is the camera.

Wow! What a feat!
This sounds really interesting. I hope the new subdivision will have street names like Instamatic Avenue, Brownie Boulevard, Kodak Court and Polaroid Place.
The old photo geek in me finds this really cool. I'd love to take a peek inside that hangar during the exposure.
"The photographers joke that they are also making the world's largest disposable camera. When they are done, the hangar will be torn down."
Hehe... I think for their next feat, they should create the worlds largest Polaroid sheet, then push the picture out under the hangar door once it's complete.
:)
That is way-cool - industrial-scale photography. It's also appealing because of the, dang, what's the word - the way it won't be possible to capture exactly the same image after the hanger is gone and whatever replaces it is built.
