My thoughts were that if it worked as expected, I would ask the people of the
Sunapee (where I live), Lakes and White Mountain regions of New Hampshire to
allow me to use their "rooms with a view" to make other works. The house owners
would get a free print and their house would be part of the history of the
print. I figure I can complete a negative in 2 days to a week (light-proofing,
test shots on 4X5 cut sheet negative, etc).

New Hampshire has two things that make this possible.... a strong arts
community and endless stunning views (and million-dollar houses that are in a
position to gather these views).

A print of this quality will easilly fetch $500.00 per print. I can probably
expect to sell at least 2 of most prints and many copies of famous views (like
Mt. Washington, the "old man on the mountain" or Lake Winnipesake)

Another idea I had was to fashion such a "camera" in a large enclosed trailer.

btw... I wouldn't be the first photo-geek to make a camera for a special
purpose.
