They turned an unused hangar in El Toro, California into the largest pinhole camera ever.
The picture is 111ft long and 31ft high (that's 3 stories high)

The pic is gonna be on display in Pasadena, California from September 6 - 29.

yup
They rolled Liquid Light on this massive canvas. Exposed it through a 1-inch pinhole for about 30 minutes.
I just found out though, that they never developed a pic. What they did is fixed the canvas with some solution and turned it into a negative. So, they have the negative on display now.

the problem is all they have a picture of is some run down air base

I thought you were talking about the camera that takes pictures for fathead.com.

pretty cool. but off topic, i hate sites that resize my window. Why some web depelopers feel they need to dictate every single aspect of how I view their site is beyond me.

the picture is of the mountain range and the scenery, not just the base
