I got this arial photo of Alfred from Google maps. I have been thinking about photographing the chalk line mapping project I've been posting about from an airplane once the drawing is complete. But what this photo makes me realize is that I don't think I'll be able to get this whole picture from a small two-prop plane. And even if the plane was able to go this high, I don't think you'd be able to see the chalk lines anymore (they'd be miniscule). So I'm not sure what to do. Perhaps I could take photos of individual sections and piece them together in photoshop.

maybe there's no need to actually see alfred, just your path.
The problem is that I'm not using GPS. And I'm intentionally not using GPS, because I want this to be an actual physical map that people are living in, as opposed to a virtual map that people don't even realize is there (because it's technically not). My main goal is to make the invisible visible, and not just on a computer screen or print out.
