The big camera
10/4/08Since its invention, we’ve been shrinking the camera. Today, you probably own a digital camera that fits in your pocket. The photographer in this YouTube video is taking a different direction.
John Chiara is a professional photographer. But he only takes a single photo each day. When you see his camera, you’ll know why. It’s huge! Chiara has to transport the camera on a flatbed trailer.
Most cameras have complex mechanisms controlling them. Chiara’s camera is as low-tech as you can imagine. He actually has to climb inside it to make it work. His hard work turns out unique and beautiful photos.
