For him, aerial drones are just the tools of his trade, not and end to themselves. Chris participated in a working group on aerial photography this past weekend at the Drones & Aerial Robotics Conference (DARC). Check out DARC’s own post on Chris’ work.

In many cases his subjects are of the four-wheeled variety.
