World largest photo globe at Photokina 2010

 

The world’s largest photo globe at Photokina 2010

“The world’s largest photo globe,” with a remarkable diameter of six meters, presented at photokina 2010. Users from more than 80 countries have been contributing to the success of this unique world record — “The world’s largest photo globe” — by posting images online at the web site www.photoglobus.prophoto-online.de since the end of May 2010. The web site offers an unparalleled journey through images, which is continuing thanks to the efforts of the organizers. The web site will stay online and the organizers hope that its users will continue to post new images that reflect the creativity of photographers around the world. You could say: During and after photokina 2010, photokina 2012 is just around the corner — and who knows what world record we will see then. This group project has been made possible by the Photographic Industry Association and its members Adobe Systems, CeWe Color, Epson, Fujifilm Imaging Germany, Hama, Kaiser Fototechnik, Kodak, Lowepro, Nikon, Olympus, Panasonic, Samsung, Felix Schoeller, Sigma, Sihl, as well as Prophoto GmbH and Koelnmesse.
