Harald Finster: Photographer
Came across a German photographer, Harald Finster, who specializes in industrial and architectural photography. He seems to prefer ruined factories and steel in whatever form. I like.

I leave you alone for five minutes and you're off on another crazy adventure!
I think you've found a soulmate in that crazy German dude.
New dream: blow one of your granite pictures up to poster size.
I've been surfing and found a whole whack of on-line photography sites. I just saw some great pictures along the path to Mt. Everest.
Yeah, that German guy (with a doctorate in mechanical engineering, I think) has quite got something. On his links page is a massive amount of other 'modern ruin' stuff. These photographers tend to use large and medium format cameras which are much better for poster size stuff.
If you like, I can send you smaller proofs of what existing granite photos I've got that were shot at the highest resolution. I don't know how they'd fare at poster size. I would ask the folks at the lab what they thought about image quality. If you're really mad for the idea, I could always rent a medium format camera from Henry's and do a shoot just for you.
Were you thinking of having the image on watercolour paper using the giclee process or tradition paper?
Two cost price lists for printing I would deal with:
