Jean-François Rauzie's Hyperphoto



French photographer Jean-François Rauzie makes enormous photographs - 20 meters wide and at 10,000 times the resolution of a normal print.   These are quite obviously composites of hundreds of individual photos.  The article linked here doesn't mention what kind of camera he uses, but the amount of effort that goes into these must be as outsized as the photos themselves.

I suppose to be properly appreciated you have to view one of these gigantic prints, not scroll through one on the internet.  I respect the tremendous effort and hours committed to these images, but have to wonder - why?  In relation to the amount of work, is there a return of equal value?
