Not the nature photographer...

When you join a photo club it seems like everyone(except me) captures perfect birds, butterfly's and flowers.  I am often amazed at the nature photographer's ability to wait and wait to get the perfect animal shot. One of the guys in the club can make a bird look so amazing you wonder if he has some secret handshake with them. For me, taking bird photos, is, well, for the birds. Patience doesn’t run in my family, so neither will spectacular bird portraits.  Usually when I come upon a bird they simply take flight as they have in this photo. Fortunately for me, the light on the farm that day was so spectacular that I got 29 ½  bird portraits. I love how each bird is in a totally different stage of flight, wings flying everywhere.  It kind of reminds me of people making the mad dash for the early morning special at Walmart on Black Friday.  Something about this photo is oddly random, which is why I probably like it.  The stripes on the camper, the mud on the truck and birds causing a ruckus, it’s perfectly mismatched.  The colors make me hungry.  If it were turned into a black and white photo, it could get that Hitchcockesque feeling.  Take a look up in the sky today and see a flying miracle; it may inspire you some way. Ever wonder if we inspire them?

We would probably find a dead body in the cement truck if Alfred Hitchcock was involved.

I am also volunteering as the assistant soccer coach at Jefferson High School. It is SUCH a great way to get to know the high school students and staff members. Although we are 0-2 so far, it has been an amazing experience and I am looking forward to the rest of the season! I'll keep you posted in my next blog...Go Santos!!!
