This week I sent out my biweekly newsletter in which I shared this image, Summer Solstice, along with a story about a bird.
While making this image, a bird briefly landed on my pinhole camera, which was attached to a fence post. Later, when I developed the photograph, something what looked to me like a bird in flight appeared in the image.
Today, I was startled by a sound on the glass dome above my studio. A curious oystercatcher had landed there and was tapping on the glass with its beak.
Every summer, birds seem to find their way to this dome. They like to take a look inside but rarely stay long enough for a photograph. They always make me look up from my work, though.
Sometimes, they even leave a trace behind.
If you’d like to receive my newsletter, send me a DM.
