Kite Aerial Photography
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.
Is the new trend down blouse pictures? I like it already.
Apparently there's a fire at the hosting company... Slashdot to the rescue! (batman theme song)

The resolution is not good enough, I think. Since you are taking panoramic pictures with a lot of small detail, you really want high resolution or any particular ground feature will just devolve into a few fuzzy pixels. To take really good arial pictures, I would expect black and white film photography probably is by far the best (though perhaps least convenient) choice.

I think thier ISP just pissed them off.

Pointing your camera at the ground and pressing the shutter does not a piece of art make.
unless you happen to be minor white
Sure you get a bunch of photos, but can you really say that you, the photographer, were the one taking the random, haphazard pictures?
Seriously consider found art, Dada, postmodern art and other forms of high art and the answer is yes, btw did you bother to look at the pictures before ranting? I am a photographer and was taken by the composition and beauty of the pictures.
I hate when people demean art by claiming that their homespun crap is on par with the work of true artists.
It is impossible to demean art. I hate it when people think that art has to be made by a certain class of people to be art. And by homespun crap are you referring to folk art? If it was in a gallery you would call it art.
I'm looking right at you, Thomas Kinkade!
And poor Thomas Kinkade will go home and cry in his big pile of money.
What I think would be alot cooler is if someone stuck a small wireless camera
What about using a balloon instead of a kite with a wireless camera? It could stay up much longer with less supervision and probably provide a more stable image.
