Nope, we don’t need Goodyear or any of the myriad of other named blimps to get cool aerial photos. Just get out your kite and that expensive digital camera and you will have it covered.
Well, you will have it covered if you are Scott Haefner. Check out his Kite Aerial Photography site.
This picture of Bryce Canyon will give you a good sense of the power of this type of photography. And you can spin the 360 degree panoramas fast enough to get dizzy.
Seattle folks will enjoy these unique views of Seattle Center and Gasworks Park.

Update: Talkleft notes that Florida will not require paper trails (surely no one is surprized by this) and Jeralyn provides several links to good reference material.
