Birds, Books and Boomerangs

We have such an interesting collection of wild birds that hang around our house. I have no choice but to break out my 200mm lens to try and capture them. Sure I bait them, but it is for mutual gain. I get their photograph, they get fed and you get to see the results. Everyone wins.

Last night I was given the gift of creative collaboration. Rick and Paul came by the studio to so something creative. Paul brought a cool collection of books from 1926. Beautiful gold leaf pages and textured black bindings. I have a great appreciation of old books and I did my best to capture the beauty and craftsmanship put in to books.

Paul also brought a wonderful boomerang. It wasa functional and decorative piece that had definitely been used.

Thanks Paul and Rick for a great evening of fun and creativity.
