From kites to airplanes, from portraits to landscapes, from 50's era rangefinders to modern P&S digitals, from tele's to macros, from bugs to distant stars, from projected light to projected ink, from chemistry to electronics. It touches so many things, and there's no end to the creative possibilities. DaveR >>A subset of dedicated kite flyers have long enjoyed aerial photography with feet firmly planted on the ground. In the Eastman House museum there is a kite photo dating back over 150 years, to very nearly the dawn of photography. Modern kites are very maneuverable and have enormous lifting capacity. Some manufacturers warn against letting children under 80 lbs. fly them otherwise they might be whisked off to Never Never Land. <<
