This is pretty cool….. Serial No. 3817131 is a site by a photographer who wanted to portray the life of young girls in their manditory term in the Israeli army. When I first got to the site I didn’t know what the heck it was, then I went through the pics and was very impressed, […]

Does something like this Scanner Photography Project put the megapixel war to rest? 115 megapixels (with a 15 second to 5 minute “shutter” time). Pretty cool. Now I just need to find a spare old flatbed scanner to play with and some random large format camera bits off of ebay (or similar).
