what can't you glue a camera to?

I was charmed to discover a few months ago that hanging cameras from kites is a long established hobby that can have lovely results. This is an image pulled from the flickr group on Kite Aerial Photography (KAP).

More recently a German man's cat became an unlikely star on the internet when his owner decided to attach a digital camera to his collar to discover where he went during the day.



To see the rest of Mr. Lee's (the cat's) travel pictures, go here.

And finally, a few months ago Hasted Hunt mounted an exhibit of what appeared to be aerial photographs by Andreas Gefeller. The pictures were mysteriously difficult to understand. When I asked how they had been taken, the gallery assistant told me that Gefeller attaches his camera to a long pole that he holds up. Then he walks around taking pictures and stitches them together afterwards in Photoshop.

Thanks for writing about the Gefeller exhibition. Do you think you could link your post to the gallery's website instead of Andreas's? We keep more up to date press etc. http://www.hastedhunt.com/photos.php?a=andreas_gefeller&i=57029

We think Andreas is amazing and we're glad you like it. Thanks again! HH
