The world is near but it is out of reach


It was a reasonably successful portrait session, I think. With a little effort, I connected with the subject and build the necessary degree of rapport to proceed. My camera lacks ‘animal eye detect autofocus’, but I was able to improvise in the moment. It is worth noting that I have not been in such close proximity to a cockscomb in many years, if ever, especially an alive one, and I realized that if it came to it, I think I’d choose to feed the comb to the dog. Offal may be all the rage among foodies, but I’m afraid my ambitions peaked at the egg level.

Real stupidity


“Look into the eyes of a chicken and you will see real stupidity. It is a kind of bottomless stupidity, a fiendish stupidity. They are the most horrifying, cannibalistic and nightmarish creatures in the world".

Chickens may be dumb, but I enjoyed my time with these. Not long after I photographed them, they were eaten by the local coyotes.
