How are they "enlarging" it? Some gigantic-ass process camera? I don't even know of a scanner that can work with media that large....

I seem to remember from photo history class that someone built a 12 foot camera in Sydney Harbor in the 1870's. (Am I right-?) They built a 100 foot one here in CA a couple of years ago. Old news....

Not even close. Did you see the one where they turned the whole inside of a blimp hanger into a pinhole camera, and applied Liquid Light, then dev and fix, using painting gear? They got the size record, even if the image itself looked pretty crappy.

Seriously, how do they print them?

The woman newscaster, referring to the 80-odd year old fighter pilot he photographed, said "just think: he saw the invention of the camera!"
*Sigh* Ok, the camera was invented, what, 1930-ish?
