Awesome amateur aerial photography project - some really stunning results.
Working on a map for work, using this as a basis. The high contrast makes it look like most of midtown and the financial district is flooded, when in fact they are not.
George Lawrence was a devotee of flying cameras into the air on "Captive Airships" and taking unsettling photos with them. This shot is from, obviously, right after the SF earthquake in 1906. The multiple-point perspective is really making me nauseated.
