I always try to make unique images using technology and by simply seeing things
a bit differently. When I got the assignment to photograph President Obama's
2009 inauguration, I knew I had to come up with something that would live up to
the magnitude of this historical event.

The response to my GigaPan showing two million people in front of the U.S.
Capitol was incredible. It was viewed over 30 million times by people in 210
countries. I was  interviewed on CNN and the image was mentioned on every news
and tech website from the Huffington Post and Drudge Report to Engadget and
Gizmodo, garnering a #1 ranking on Digg.com.

I made the image by shooting a series of 220 photos using the GigaPan Epic. When
stitched together into one giant panorama, the resulting photo is 1,474
megapixels. For comparison, a normal point-and-shoot photo is about 10
megapixels. The extreme resolution allows you to zoom in and pan around by
double clicking or using the controls at top left. As you look around, you'll
find all of the living U.S. Presidents, cellist Yo-Yo Ma taking a picture with
his iPhone, and government snipers on faraway rooftops.

In the time since I made this image, I've developed my technique for making very
high quality GigaPans and have documented large events for commercial clients
including NBC, Tishman Speyer, MLB.com, Sports Illustrated, and Bon Jovi.

"It's going to be a really, really big image."
