A 470-megapixel version of the Facebook Wall in 2011

In December of 2011, I went to the abandoned Facebook headquarters at 1601 S California Ave in Palo Alto, California. A guard let me in, and I set up a tripod in front of the famous wall just inside the entrance, where countless people had scrawled messages and placed visitor badges on the way out of the building. Facebook had just completed a move to Menlo Park, and I wanted to make sure that the famous wall was archived properly. I snapped 40 pictures using a Canon EOS 7D, and later stitched it using AutoPano Giga (R.I.P.!), resulting in a 470-megapixel panorama (37249 x 12657 pixels).
