Balloon photography
Jeffrey Warren, creator of GrassrootsMapping.org and fellow in the Center for Future Civic Media, shows Medill graduate student Manya Gupta the inexpensive materials (including a reel of fishing wire, a balloon or kite and a low-end Canon PowerShot camera), needed for citizen aerial photography of the Gulf oil spill. Gupta is one of the Knight Scholars with engineering backgrounds who are retooling themselves at Northwestern to be tech-savvy journalists.
