4 gigapixel cam

[ audio selection | outkast – pink & blue ]

my new photo hero…check this guys self-made camera. its kinda nice because, you know, it takes pics at approximately 4 fucking gigapixels. thats about 4 football fields worth of photo yo. the former physicist, super-genius, and photo afficianado graham flint is criss-crossing america taking super-massive pics of cities, monuments, or whatever catches his fancy with his custom camera. built using cold-war technology, the custom cam weighs around 100 lbs, and creates pictures that when scanned 1-to-1, fills a dvd with just one pic. thats like, ridiculous. you rock flint…

oh, and happy lunar new year yo.
