Hanging by a Thread: A Kite's View of Wisconsin

by Craig M. Wilson (Photographer), Brent Nicastro

This full-color book of photographs records Wisconsin from an unusual viewpoint: a camera suspended from a kite and controlled by photographer Craig M. Wilson from the ground. Taken from fifty to a few hundred feet in the air, Wilson’s photos capture natural and man-made views that wouldn’t otherwise be possible. The result is a vibrant collection that captures Wisconsin in all its shifting beauty in landscapes and cityscapes, festivals, Door County’s lighthouses, Milwaukee’s neighborhoods, and the crowd at a Badger football game. Captions are provided in English, Spanish, German, and Mandarin Chinese.

I have to thank MPTV's special "Wisconsin From The Air" for bringing this wonderful book by photographer Craig M. Wilson to my attention. "Hanging By A Thread: A Kite's View Of Wisconsin" is a fantastic coffee table book filled with uniquely brilliant photos of my home state. A pleasure to view and a treasure to own.

The perspective that these pictures are taken from is neat. I really like that a lot of the pictures are taken in Madison since I am familiar with area.
