The Great Picture at the Great Park

The community is invited to view, The Great Picture: Making the World’s Largest Photograph, exhibition at the Great Park Artist Studios.  This exhibition was created by a group of six photographers and artists known as The Legacy Project, which captured using the world’s largest pinhole camera and produced the world’s largest photograph — measuring three stories high by eleven stories wide (31 by 111 feet).

The photo, taken on July 12, 2006, depicts a panoramic view of the former El Toro Marine Corps Air Station, which closed in 1999. To create the image, members of The Legacy Project converted a hangar into a pinhole camera; an ancient image-making technique discovered by the Chinese in the 4th century B.C.
