    2024 is the year of ultra large photography

    2024 is the year to celebrate ultra large format photography!

    The coincidental alignment of the upcoming calendar year and the most common size of ultra large format photography is a good enough reason to celebrate ultra large format photography.

    I have set up a public Facebook page, 20x24, that presents some of the history and current practices in ultra large format photography, with the hope of staging some in person ULF events in 2024 where those interested in this format can gather.

    Please contribute your thoughts about ULF. I am sorry I missed the Mammoth Camera Workshops - it is time to bring back an inperson event.

    An excellent concept! Unfortunately, you guys will have to move up to 20x25 the following year...

    Let us get through 2024 first before we think of that !

    The Facebook page welcome comments and recomendations for Current and Past Masters of ULF. I am hoping there is interest in people with an interest in showing their ULF works or demonstrating the process will find the site and discuss an in person gathering. Are you in?

    I believe you are mistaken, the celebration was in 1417!

    No, I'm afraid I can't be in, as a troll deletes any Facebook account I make, more than 200 so far. He learned the trick to get Facebook to delete your account for violating "community standards", even if the account has zero content and makes zero posts.

    He's done it to at least hundreds of people, maybe thousands. He brags that he's a "Ph.D.-level troll" with "hunter-killer bots made to stalk and delete" people's accounts. Everyone knows who he is and what he's doing; several newspapers have run stories on his harassment. He's currently in Tennessee, on the run from the law after being convicted in Arizona of trying to kidnap a local school principal, but he's still very actively harassing people on the internet.

    Facebook knows about it but protects him, refusing to answer multiple law enforcement subpoenas and warrants about his activities on their platform. Gotta love the internet...

    I am not on Facebook and have no access to your posting there. Why can't you just do it here?

    Yes, that was me too.....and in 1117 before that. But 2024 is the big one.

    In any event, please check out the page and react/add to it. Surely you know some current and historical people who have worked in ULF that have not been noted yet.
