thanks to a long time reader who sent us a canon point and shoot, odin and i have a camera loaded with the canon hack development kit and a script that will shoot continuous interval shots for our kite aerial photography rig! but we’ve been waiting for weeks and weeks for blustery day without storm clouds to fly the kite.

i went on a 13 miles in stiff winds and thought it was finally a perfect day to try it out. odin was at hockey so he wasn’t going to be able to go, but i gathered up the gear frida and i jumped in the galaxie 500 and went racing to a nearby hill.

frida was very happy to go for a ride in the old ford and was particularly intrigued by the colorful kite.

but alas, by the time we made it out to the hill the winds had died down with the late afternoon sun just as we arrived. hi. ho.

i sure hope we get a chance take some shots before the snow flies.

and now i know frida is happy to along for the adventure!
