The longest exposures in history....

I came across this blog which showcases the works of Michael Wesely, a german photographer who has made the longest exposures recorded! Some are 3 years long!

check his work out here on his website, but check out the blog 'itchyi" below for some instant gratification, where you can see his work!

He documented the reconstruction of the Museum of Modern Art over a 3 year period and set up 12 cameras in different spots to record it....all with the shutter open!
Interesting stuff. The first entry on that blog was a post from last year that said that Justin Quinnell's long exposures were indeed the longest. Apparently Wesley's work has pipped that for sure!

Here is an image of the MoMA during the 3 years it was being rebuilt. Pretty cool!
