Scott Haefner and the Drachen Foundation Recreate Lawrence's Post Earthquake Aerial Photo Scenario
Last week, on the 100th anniversary of the San Francisco earthquake of 1906, Best-Breezes brought you a blog entry on Goerge Lawrence and his amazing photos of the devastation of that quake by way of his kite aerial camera. Also at that time, we noted that Scott Haefner, a noted Kite Aerial Photographer, was working with the Drachen Foundation of Seattle WA to recreate the historic photos with modern KAP equipment.
Well, today the current photos by Haefner are available on the Drachen Foundation's website. What a spectacular view and great project. Typical of Scott Skinner, Ali Fujino and the Drachen Foundation this project is first class and adds greatly to the dissemination of knowledge about kites and their role in history. The complete story and photos by Scott taken from his aerial rig are amazing. Well done everyone!
For a complete press release and description of the event visit the PR Web (Press Release Newswire) site to see all the details as well as information on George Lawrence, Scott Haefner, and the Drachen Foundation.
