Art Morris is the first well known photographer i know of who did this. he
may have started all of this. it's pretty necessary for shorebirds, when
there is beach to crawl on.

dish-shaped camera support where a ball-head or gumball head can be
attached; I built my own from a heavy aluminum frying pan and my big
studioball!). Most of the photography over the two days was conducted
crawling on our bellies.....
