Re: [Yasmin_discussions] moderation this week

Hi Roc and Yasminers!

I'm very much interested in your balloon-photo-taking idea and I was
wondering if you could give me some link (apart from this one you've given
here) to find out some more information.

I'm working on some papers on the idea of the evolution of the '*objet
trouvé' into projects that generate mechanisms for randomly capturing
aspects of spaces, and I would like to refer to your project if that was ok
with you. *

Many thanks and all the best with the fantastic projects!

Anastasia
