Feed Description: The Law Of Unintended Consequences
Fascinating article in Wired about a guy called Graham Flint, whose Gigapxl Project [sic] is capturing huge, um, gigapixel images of places in America. But I found this odd; when talking about a picture of a nude-sunbathing beach, he's quoted as saying: "We might have to add fig leaves in Photoshop, it's that good".
Why capture reality in as dense detail as you can... and then edit it to fit the retarded moral sensibilities of those who think the human body is something to be ashamed of?
