	Largest photographs in the world - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Legacy Project photograph made in Irvine, California is an exception to this in that it was made as a single exposure on a seamless piece of sensitized fabric using a building as a huge camera.
		The 3,024 square-foot photograph is a huge image that was made to mark the end of 165 years of film/chemistry-based photography and the commencement of the age of digital photography.
		The project dubbed "Gigapix" was claimed to be the largest digital panoramic photo, although it is a stitched photograph by merging hundreds of small sections into one photograph.

	The Seattle Times: Nation & World: World's largest camera poised for world's largest photo
		Today, the six photographers with the nonprofit Legacy Project were to begin testing their massive camera and hope to have a photograph completed within two weeks.
		The ambitious project is the latest by photographers who want to capture the Marine base before it's gone and document the transition of a nearly 5,000-acre chunk of land that's an important part of the region's history.
		The photographers on Tuesday put their final touches on the camera, patching up places where sunlight leaked in between the rafters and testing the pinhole's upside-down projection on the huge fabric.

	Photograph - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A photograph (often shortened to photo) is an image created using a record of light falling on a light-sensitive surface, usually photographic film or a CCD.
		The most common photographs are those created using a camera, which uses a lens to focus the scene's visible wavelengths of light into a faithful reproduction of what the human eye would see.
		The first permanent photograph was made in 1826 by a French inventor, Joseph Nicéphore Niépce, building on a discovery by Johann Heinrich Schultz (1724): that a silver and chalk mixture darkens under exposure to light.
