Assignment 3

Post-Mortem Photography:

Post-Mortem Photography is the practice of photographing those who have died recently. When it first began in the mid-1800s, it was used as a way for families to immortalize their dead relatives. The dead were photographed quite soon after they died, and were typically depicted in the clothes they died in, without a coffin present. More recently, Post-Mortem Photography has been used as an art form, but it is highly frowned upon and very controversial.


Kite Aerial Photography:

Kite Aerial Photography is when a camera is raised on a kite and triggered remotely to take pictures. It is a common alternative to Aerial Photography. There are a wide variety of mechanisms used in Kite Photography, ranging from simple kites and triggers with disposable to cameras to radio controlled digital cameras. The best kites for Kite Aerial Photography are the most stable, which can thus produce the clearest shots. Kite photography was first done in 1887 by a Briton named Douglas Archibald.
