Wisconsin Man Uses Kite For Photography
By Ryan • Apr 21st, 2008 • Category: News for Creatives (archives)By Adam Rodewald of Marshfield News-Herald:
“Craig Wilson guided a small, handmade kite throughout the bookstore with a black wand and string.
His movements resembled an interpretive dance.
“We all remember kite flying from Charlie Brown,” who usually got his stuck in a tree and then left feeling disgruntled or depressed, Wilson said. “It doesn’t have to be that way.”
He let the kite dive over the heads of his small audience gathered Saturday morning for the presentation in Book World, 414 S. Central Ave.
Normally he flies a kite with a 20-foot wing span, complete with a remote controlled camera.
This is Wilson’s claim to fame. For 20 years he has fine-tuned this style of aerial photography, and now he has released a collection of pictures in his book, “Hanging by a Thread, A Kite’s View of Wisconsin.”
