Tom Longson had modified a tricycle bike to hold a camera with a 360 degree camera, he and his brother Jay collected Street View type data of at least the Esplanade, Center Camp, and the Temple.
Jeffrey Johnson went up flying I think Wed, Thur, Fri and Sat and captured pretty complete aerial imagery of the city as it grew. Mikel Maron did kite aerial photography, including this awesome image from directly above the man: http://flickr.com/photos/mikel_maron/2804414259/ The Burning Man Earth Crew had a map of the city in Garmin format, so you could actually do things like navigate to a specific Art piece. At least a few members of the public (for a particular definition of 'public' :-) got the map loaded onto their Garmin's. Andrew 'Haggis' did a lot of pre-playa modeling of the city in Sketchup, and captured texture maps on the Playa. I took about 45 gigapans, including going up _really freaking high_ in a cherry picker and taking this gigapan: http://flickr.com/photos/mikel_maron/2804414259/ You can zoom in on the Man's heart and read most of the signatures and inscriptions. (this is a draft stitch - the final stitch should get rid of most of the vignetting). I think there were some other things, but I can't remember them now :-) On Tue, Sep 2, 2008 at 6:03 PM, Brady Forrest <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Howdy, > Was there any geowanking at Burning Man this year?
