Clifford Ross's New Pano Camera in the New Yorker

[Frank Petronio]

Here I am providing a link to an 'artist" and "photographer" in yet another fawning and pretentious article. I guess he has quite a large trust fund... he built an even fancier camera.

why all the hate? i'm glad someone with a big ridiculous camera can get some attention.

Paul, the reason that Clifford Ross is not held in high esteem at this forum is not because he has a big camera, but rather what he uses it for and claims about it.

My concern is that Littman will claim infringement - somehow - unless they share the same trustee

Seriously - It's probable that he has made his mark on his own & I admire the inventing aspect of anything photographic - even with kites

I do think he's way more legit as a photographer - see:

I think the reason why some folks (not everyone) here do not hold him in high esteem is that they don't have his record of accomplishment and/or self-promotion skills.

I would agree about the self promotion part but not the acomplishments part. What is he famous for? Making so called high resolution cameras which anybody with enough money can do, he is certainly not famous for his photography!

...his record of accomplishment and/or self-promotion skills.

self promotions skills are important, but there's something besides a well-phrased resume involved in getting your work into collections like the met, moma, the guggenheim, and the mfa houston.
