hmmn: musings from the far east(erwood)
Never heard of this before: kite aerial photography, that is, photos by Scott Haefner taken via a camera suspended from a flying kite and controlled using a model airplane radio controller. Some nice stuff, like this photo from high above of a swimming pool (not your everyday view, to be sure). Haefner also has a page of 360 degree panoramas. And he’s not shy about discussing his techniques or the equipment he uses either, which is nice to see.

The Unseen Gulf War, photographs by Peter Turnley, at The Digital Journalist. Writes Turnley:
As we approach the distinct possibility of another war, a thought comes to mind. The photographs that I made do not, in themselves, represent any personal political judgment or point of view with respect to the politics and the right or wrong of the first Gulf War. What they do represent is a part of a more accurate picture of what really does happen in war. I feel it is important and that citizens have the right to see these images.
