SHOOTING the Birdie


Another look-for-old-park-drawings day. These are from 2021, a result, actually, from something I found myself writing in my journal this morning. I remembered longing for a better camera then. I'd been carrying a compact camera with me and admired the professional photographers at the park with their expensive equipment. They had tripods mounted with huge cameras with telescopic lenses.


I remember when all those shutters went off, they set off consecutive firing for movie-like photography, so the noise was like machine guns. I rather felt sorry for the little Kawasemi bird running away from all those "Kawasemi Hunters" (that's what some of the rest of us at the park called the photographers).

Well, they WERE shooting at it, weren't they?
