I believe the Grand Central Station was made using rather large sheets of
Kodak Duratrans. Not all the images were from K25 slides (though I have a
feeling a large number were). For the images, I think they were duped onto
4x5 film before enlarging using ???? (I cannot recall that detail ...
senility I guess :) they had at the time. Loved that Duratrans (though the
Fuji stuff is quite nice also) and tough as nails. They had a nice translucent
backing for back lighting. Sheesh, I can't believe I remember all this
trivia (I apologize in advance for all the inaccuracies :), though I still have
some Duratrans in the freezer.
