Madison's Kite Aerial Photographer

Craig M. Wilson is Madison's photo-documentarian from above, but not from a helicopter or airplane.  Craig's is more a bird's-eye view: a few hundred feet up and very dependent on the winds.  Craig, in his day job a behind-the-scenes bureaucrat in the City of Madison's Department of Planning and Development, has a hobby/business/artistic calling as an internationally recognized kite-assisted aerial photographer.

Browse his website, "FromaKite," and check out his photos of Madison places and events from above.  Shots of the Terrace, Camp Randall during football games, and the Capitol are spectacular.  He's got a great book, too, "Hanging by a Thread."
