Pigeons are super weird. They sit on the wire wobbling back and forth as the wind moves the wire and then one gets freaked out so they all take off and fly a big loop out and around just to come back to the wire for a while. I sat in my car under the wires, out of the way of the bombs dropping, and ate lunch. These ladies/gents would take off every once in a while hysterically and then circle back around. Skittish creatures, pigeons.

Up early on this day I will call Gray Saturday, the Saturday after Black Friday. Ever wonder why it's called Black Friday? And why there's such an obsession with shopping in America? I can criticise it all I want, but I am also part of the group who puts shit out there to sell. Designing for the retail market is my job... such a hypocrite! ;)

Oh well... so I was up this Gray Saturday taking pics from my window of the sunrise. Lovely sun and screen textures in this pic.

Enjoy!

A Little Nature in the City

The view from the garden. Statue of Liberty in the upper left corner on the horizon line - the little blur.... NYC is over to the left, but it's not visible in this shot.

This is the view I wake up to.

Up early after having gone to sleep with a massive migraine last night at 6:30 pm... woke up with my new camera on my mind. Wanting to practice the bokeh technique since color and abstraction are constant imagery in my paintings - my Canon 50d makes it easy to incorporate into my photography.

New Mood


My photo's will now be excellent because I have a new camera - Canon 50d.
