The Drachen Foundation has come out with a compact disk on the world of kite aerial photography. It’s a multimedia tour of the history, people, gear, techniques and of course photographs in this fast-growing field. Featured are experts Nico Chorier, Dave Van Zandt, Craig Wilson, Jim Day, Scott Haefner, with music by Jeff Greinke. Drachen’s resident science boffin Eric Muhs put it together. Among other features, the disk explains how to get started in kite aerial photography by making your own lifting kite and photo rig. Viewing the CD requires Apple’s multimedia player Quick Time, which can be downloaded gratis from www.apple.com/quicktime/download. Open your favorite browser, then open the file Open_Me_First.html. Easier done than described. The CD sells for $10. Contact Drachen at info@drachen.org.
