This year¹s kite aerial photography (KAP) booth will feature the images and apparatus of several Bay Area KAPers including:
Cris Benton, the Berkeley author of MAKE¹s original KAP article and moderator of the KAP Discussion Page.
Elaine and Don Dvorak, who have been photographing Easter Island¹s Moai and local wetlands with video-assisted camera cradles.
Brooks Leffler, a Pacific Grove based master builder of the only commercially available KAP cradles and editor of the influential Aerial Eye quarterly.
Sharon Kato, a relative newcomer who brings fresh eyes to the Bay Area KAP scene.
... and most likely a few others as well.
