Asher, at one point there was talk of making a more elaborate video of how this all came about. I know you made a few, small videos, but one that encompasses the entire story. Any movement forward on that front?

Hi Maggie,
A great question you pose.
Right at this moment, a fellow who is interested in extra gigantic LF photography, has reached out to discuss my research into Richard Learoyd’s amazing life size Cibachrome portraits made with 27,000 Watt-seconds flash!
The fellow’s “day job” is making documentaries, so I will ask his advice when I meet him next week to go over my lenses!
I already have broached the subject and he has indicated interest!
It so happens that Ignacio is helping me make a video of my concept for a 1/4 mile sculpture garden overlooking the Pacific Ocean! He converts my various photoprogrammetry and other 3D models into a 3D World modified from the actual drone capture landscape I gave him. He has also hired for me a colleague, (a graphic artist), to make an illustrated map needed to get the project considered by the local government and US Coastal Commission!
So I am very grateful for Ignacio’s support and talent. All the work has to go back and forth to various engineers so it’s an international effort!

C'est absolument maginfique but how on Earth, in such important event during your artistic life, can you just shoot with an iPhone!
I can't understand why you haven't used one of your many pro cameras…
This moment desserves a much better (technically speaking) image for your own memory but also for your kids and grand kids!!!!!

A lot of thr videos during construction were shot with the Canon or Sony DSLRs. But from now on it will be with the Fuji GFX 50S!

Bump to remind me of all the help I received from engineers, computer graphics artists for my movies and steel workers for their skills!

Thanks for the good wishes, Karl!
We wish Germany the leadership to keep it at peace and Putin more hesitant!
I am building two very abstract sculptures: “David & Bathsheba” in the same color scheme as the “Puff of Wind”
