    This might be my favorite pod so far. The photographs taken by these cameras are amazing. I think I'm going to try this out myself.

    I've always wanted to try kite photography since I read about it on wikipedia a few years ago.

    It allows people to do things they ordinarily couldnt do with a camera unless they were in a plane.

    If I were good at engineering, I'd love to try it.

    Professor Benton was one of my professors at UC Berkeley!

    This is a link to his site all about kite aerial photography.

    What touched me in this piece is the close relationship that father & son has that is 'stringed together' by a mutual love for kite flying & taking pictures.

    Saw this on TV and really enjoyed it. A thoughtful and inspiring look at the relationship between a father and son, and the way in which hobbies give meaning to peoples' lives. Only on Current could something like this breath and live in the way it needs to. Great job!

    This also reminded me a lot of one of my favorite music videos of all time. Though in Stardust's case the video is more about a child using the glider to escape a family that's unhappy, not using the kite to get closer to his dad.

    I loved the shot of the people and the bikes it looked like a painting.
