Big, boxy and a beast

A RS tells the world:

The camera is big, boxy and a beast to move. But it never intrudes. After composing an image on the ground glass at the back, Rashid Johnson steps to the front of the 8-by-10 Deardorff to set the exposures and, plunging the shutter release, shoot.

Anyone who knows anything about photography knows this size is in inches.

Until I fixed it minutes ago, the WP article cited that newspaper article in order to tell the world:

He uses a 8-by-10-foot (2.4 m × 3.0 m) Deardorff, which forces him to interact with his subjects.

Yikes, it even said that when it was made a "Good Article".

I hereby give author and GA reviewer little taps on the noggin with a two by four. Please only write that which you understand. -- Hoary (talk) 02:24, 16 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
