Craig Wilson started flying kites in 1983. Over the next several years he built copies of kites he saw in books and magazines. As his collection of kites grew so did his interest in the history and culture of kites. He travelled the world to participate in kite festival events. Aerial photography with his larger kites led to commercial applications but equally, provided unique views from the combination of his kites and cameras. Craig’s aerial images are published in travel brochures and magazines such as Outside, Sail, Air and Space, Wisconsin Trails, Popular Photography, and Kiting.

His photos have been exhibited in galleries at the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum, the Air Force Museum in Dayton Ohio, Air-Venture Museum in Oshkosh, and art museums in Japan, France, Belgium, and the U.S.

Craig’s first book titled Hanging By A Thread has just been published.
