View the Berlin Wall East Side Gallery photographed in its entirety using Zoomify

In 2002 while living in Berlin, I had the desire to create a detailed photograph of the East Side Gallery in its entirety (basically it came from staring at it everyday while walking to work). I began the project by shooting approximately 500 photographs with a Nikon Coolpix 995 down the entire 1.3km length of the wall. These images were then brought into Photoshop and combined into 16 individual "sections" (because of file size limitations at the time, I could not create a single image of the wall). These source images were used as source material to create a video of the entire wall seemlessly scrolling across the screen.

Recently, new versions of Photoshop enabled me to create a single large image containing the entire wall. I have now created a Zoomify image showing the wall in its entirety as it was in the spring of 2002. Using Zoomify, you can get a look at the details of the wall.

I hope you enjoy browsing my image of the East Side Gallery! Please send comments or questions to me: bradford at bohonus dot com.
