Melinda Pillsbury-Foster is the grand-daughter of Arthur C. Pillsbury Home. AC, as the family calls him, invented the first circuit panorama camera as his senior project at Stanford in 1896 while majoring in Mechanical Engineering. His highly credentialed senior adviser told him not to bother to try building it. Such an approach was impossible. AC built it. It worked. He left college and went to the Yukon, using the camera to record the opening of the mining fields. In 1906 he used the camera to take this photo of the San Francisco and Fire. That disaster, less serious than the one now facing Americans, moved AC to begin a life long work of creating the means for individuals to see the world as it really is. In 1912 he built the first lapse-time camera to save the wildflowers in Yosemite. In 1927 he built the first microscopic motion picture camera to show scientists and all of us the dynamic, living world beyond their scope of vision. That was following in 1929 by the X-ray motion picture camera and the underwater motion picture camera.
She has been studying the market and economics through the filter of politics and anthropology for twenty years. She began her studies because it became clear to her that those in positions of power were much like her grandfather's senior advisor.
Her political blog is at How the NeoCons Stole Freedom.
She is presently working on a book titled, “Climbing Off the Grids to Freedom in One Easy Lesson.”
