      Six minutes at a standstill, it's like a portrait in 19th century. I like all your pictures, I wish you and your garbage company will gain a rightful resonance for this brilliant project.

      Great shot and a superb project! Well done to all who took part, especially Roland who clearly has a great career ahead of him as a living statue. :0D

      Thank you very much! Hm, living statue sounds good, maybe I should think about it! :D

      That is insane. Once you know the exposure time, it's hard to look at this picture the same way.

      With a paper negative as large as 106 x 80 cm, I imagine the "pinhole" aperture is rather large and quite some distance away from the negative, right?
