…that there are 12 Hasselblad cameras on the surface of the moon today.

Ever heard of a whole building being used as a huge camera? The runways and control tower of California’s U.S. Marine Corps Air Station El Toro is the largest photograph to exist. It was photographed with a single exposure on a sanitized fabric. The whole building was used as a camera. The photograph was a part of the Legacy Project and is referred to as the Great Picture.

Together the brothers developed ImagePro, which was eventually bought by Adobe to create what we now know as Photoshop.
