I don't think your curator had that in mind when describing Milstein's photographs. Perhaps she meant that the photographs were enormously large.

I can remember as well going to the airport at a young age, sitting there watching the planes come and go. I didn't want to be a pilot since I had other ambitions but flying around the world was always my thing.
