The Big Picture - Neatorama

(YouTube link)
Artist John Chiara thinks big. He built his own box camera, and made it as big as a room. Chiara takes it to a location on a trailer and puts it together on site. One benefit is that the camera never wiggles! He must also develop his own film, because the photographs are huge, too. -via the Presurfer

The video clearly shows him developing his own film.

This man seems profoundly SAD to me. It was very interesting (being a photographer myself)...but his story and his reference to having a 'strange childhood' and everything about it- was sad. huh. strange.

That guy has got the right idea, a true photographer. His work is beautiful and it would take serious time to recreate with digital photography. Way to go.

That guy is original. Like Big Ben said, a true photographer.

I think that's just the cello in the background.

In the 7 minutes or so that I watched this, Mr. Chiara somehow managed to use the word "like" and its derivative 41 times.

@ Brooklyn's Finest:

I noticed it aswell, really really annoying...
However, I absolutely love his photographs!

This guy says 'like' too often.

Great stuff. I seem to get the feeling that perhaps his attitude to photography is so much more clearer because of his childhood and other experiences. Experience does make the person.

He has art,
and it has him.
Take care, my friend; joy is also a part of life.
