Building the Worlds Largest Camera

A Chicago photographer, Dennis Manarchy, is trying to build an old-time bellows type camera that is 35 feet large and is also meant to be portable.  The camera when built will use negatives that are the size of an average human and produce images that are two stories tall with extreme detail.

He intends to use the camera to take shots of historical significance by traveling around the country with the camera on a trailer.  It makes for an interesting project and story.
