Kite Aerial Photography

Posted by michael on from the fish-eye dept.

j cherney writes "A great combination of digital photography, kite flying, and wireless remote control. Absolutely incredible pictures. Enjoy!" We've mentioned this expensive pursuit a few times before, including a bit on how to build one of your own.

      Coralisation after slashdoting is useless.
      Google cache is shot on images.
      Well I guess people could try the internet archive... at least they have a chance to see something (not too much tho) :)

    FYI,
    it's not "arial " (a font, or a town in South Carolina),
    or "ariel " (a character in _The Tempest_, or, more recently, one in Disney's _The Little Mermaid_),
    or even "areal " (the adjective form of "area"),
    but rather "aerial" when you're talking about things of, in, or related to the air.

    I hate when people demean art by claiming that their homespun crap is on par with the work of true artists. I'm looking right at you, Thomas Kinkade!

    Ever heard of Duchamp? or the readymade? Duchamp did things like put a toilet in an exhibition. Duchamp didn't demean art in the same way that the photograph didn't/doesn't demean art.

    Lookup the whole Dada movement. Art is about it's own destruction as much as it is about anything else.
