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!

I’ve decided to take this opportunity to go through photos I had taken before but not thought to post as I am mostly a portrait photographer.

Today’s photo is of a cute little Chihuahua puppy taking his first steps out in Central Park. He was so scared of the world around him, but he slowly came around.

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.

The only thing that I learned from this experience is that ducks are major assholes.
