George Lawrence Photography Revisited
danlor writes "We were all taken aback 4 years ago when someone linked us the history of George Lawrence and his photos of the aftermath of the 1906 San Fransisco earthquake. I personally thought to myself: man, I would love to make one of those cameras. The idea of flying 2,000-pound cameras with kites... Well, someone has actually recreated the feat. They even provide links to get large prints of the original and recreated scenes."
They apparently used a helicopter instead of a series of kites, which makes the "recreation" somewhat boring.
As a state gets corrupt, its laws multiply; the most corrupt states have the most numerous laws. (Tacitus, Annales 3:27)
Camera weighed 46 pounds.
Film was much heavier back then.
Do not look at laser with remaining good eye.
