Where was the neck strap to hold the camera?

Musty.

Having visited this site before, and seeing what is possible, I'm
wondering if our silly friends at the Dept. of Homeland Security has
visited. Considering more than one image, the only thing that's missing
is the "Place Bomb Here" sign, or maybe Graham already cloned it out.

I might be wrong, but it sounds like it's being shot on film and
scanned.

It should be pointed out that the SO-846 film used for initial design
purposes is not representative of the film now being used for the
Gigapxl™ Project. In this regard, new-generation color-negative films
(notably Kodak’s Aerocolor III type 2444) offer several advantages.

So the news here is "large format film renders fine resolution?"
or "people like to shoot nude beaches from a hidden position on a
clifftop?"

We should all be so lucky as to be able to retire at such a young
looking age and have enough spare cash to indulge our fantasy like this
pair are doing. God Bless America, eh?
