To me, they are incredibly dynamic. In fact, the photo that made me want to be a photographer was a photo I took of a seagull. I love wings a lot. The way they move is so breathtakingly artistic.

This little guy was singing his heart out in Central Park. I was lucky enough to catch his delightful tune. Igot a photo of him taking off as well, but it’s slightly blurry and I do not post blurry photos, no matter how much I might like them This is my first vertical photo post!

Dont’ ask me why. I have no answer.

I like this shot a lot, though I wish the bird was in a different spot. When I thought about where I’d prefer the bird… I couldn’t think of anything better. This was taken at St. John’s of the Divine. The World’s largest Cathedral.

I know that’s a bold claim, but as I was sitting in Central Park he kept flying at my feet and looking up at me. People would pass, he’d get spooked, fly away, then when the coast was clear, he’d fly right back. He was fairly awesome.
