Bring The Great Picture to New Orleans

Seven hot summer nights ago in 2006, two photographer friends, Kathleen Laria McLaughlin and Amanda Keller Konya and I drove an hour south to an abandoned Air Force base in Southern California. We arrived to a buzz of activity, bullhorns, and the anticipation that we were about to help with the creation of the largest photograph ever made. We knew it was going to be a special night.
