    What amazing pictures Scott. Thrilling!

    After having met you at the KAP Kite Arial Photography gathering at Asilomar a few weeks ago, my friend Ken Conrad of Great Winds Kites of Seattle introduced me to your site and took me right to this picture . He also showed me Charles C. Benton’s wonderful site at http://arch.ced.berkeley.edu/kap/

    Building on this newfound excitement of mine Ken launched a KAP rig for me at Crown Beach in Alameda, CA . It was a gloomy day with the necessary 6 knot wind. I looked into a video eyepiece linked to the kite and my perspective and sense of space of my neighborhood was changed. This photograph is my favorite bird’s eyes view of the world; that of a low circling bird. I’ve never been in the crows nest of a clipper but this must be the experience; swaying to and fro 150 feet up as the wind blows and the world swirls.

    Now, as I move now about my community I see how the shadows of the trees reach down the block at sunset just like those in your palms shadow photograph. The kite view presented me with the plan view of the undulating line of our Alameda shoreline, which is now part of my map of my place. My relationship to space and place has been changed such that the hierarchies (up/down , near/far, flat world /elevation view )and coordinates of my physical world are now being interrupted as a new dimensional awareness; a more Bucky view of world, a moving, multi axised, rich dimensioned experience of space.
    Buckminster Fuller taught that there is no up or down, just movement in or out of gravity. Zooming in & Zooming out—- the kite line. Very cool work Scott!

    Peio, from Basque Country -Europe-, I’ll try to do something similar, but for sure it won’t be so amazing. It’s great.

    Scott,
    U blow my mind. I’m a very passionate photographer from Johannesburg and i love People Photography and i really dig your people shots too. Your pics give us such a vivid description of how birds see us. Click away my friend. Good to know there are people out there still looking out for new ways of capturing our unique world.

    Wow

    I can’t believe you have the audacity to fly your camera and lens above those rocks. Balls of steel! Stunning.

    Ok, So this is one of the best angles for a PanoVR. Great passion to put together all the gear and tech to do this work. Maybe it’ll rub off on me more since I started QTVR in ‘96. Again, this is one of your best - great work! VR … on the rocks please.
