I guess when you have a camera that big and it happens to be pointed at a portable toilet...

About 30 people showed up Wednesday to see the fuzzy, 28-by-108 foot black-and-white image taken by six photographers from the nonprofit Legacy Project. The photo, taken Saturday, shows the control towers, palm trees and a portable toilet.

...you get a picture of the portable toilet. Pretty difficult to pack a camera that big off someplace else. It was built from an abandoned aircraft hanger.

The principles involved in the camera obscura have been known for centuries - some guy named Ibn al-Haitham claimed to have built one in the 10th. Daguerre and Talbot adapted them to photography and the cell phone was born.
