Places where the photos
are currently appearing |
| The Julius Erving Conference Room at Converse
headquarters in North Andover Massachusetts. They reproduced my
#138 photo 17'x13'. It might be the
largest photo of Julius Erving ever printed. |

Larry Berman at the Julius Erving Wall at Converse 2003
No - Dr J didn't run on electricity (check out the plugs on the wall) |
 |
| To make this extremely large 17'x13' four section
photograph, I scanned a black and white 8x10 print at the optical
resolution of my flatbed Epson 1640SU scanner which produced a 165
megabyte file. |
| John MacNamara
of Advanced
Photographics used Photoshop to eliminate the strong white light from
the sign behind Julius Erving's head and added information to the top and sides to make the
image proportion
fit the wall. He then used Genuine Fractals to increase the file size to
approximately 700 megabytes and printed it in four 56" sections with a
Vutek
2360 Solvent
Printer onto vinyl wallpaper. |

| The finishing touch - Converse asked me
to sign the wall. I wish Julius Erving was there to sign also.... |
|
An opportunity for both Converse and for me. They
invited me to sign my photo. |
| Both photographs were taken by Mary Berman. We set the
tripod up on top of a conference table and she stood on the table to shoot
the picture with my CoolPix 5000 set at 28mm. |
