Patience and the birds
I’m a lucky bastard. Not too far from my living place, just a few kilometers on one of the roads to Tel Aviv, there is a large local dump. I found this curious attraction – a huge amount of seagulls, which arrive here every day in search of food. This happens twice every year for a month or two every time.As usual, they are very scattered throughout the space of the dump. The moving excavators and working people frighten the birds and them up in the air here in there, but sometimes this takeoff looks like some nuclear explosion. I tried to be patient and just waited with a loaded and preconfigured Hasselblad camera in my hands to handle this moment of powerful takeoff. Someone said me that this moment reminds the of Alfred Hitchcock’s “The Bird” movie frame. I agree!
And I managed to do it – with the film camera. I’m a lucky bastard – yes I’m. Good night (2:19 AM).
…Good morning ! Yes, you’re lucky, but not bastard.You’re one of the most patient people, cos your art makes you to be like that, and it is wonderful…
Good morning Akrus ! thank you very much for taking a time and your kind words !!

I just think you are gifted. A damn good photographer. And patient. Not bad looking. But not a bastard. 😉
Hey Aino ! thank you very much ! hope everything is going well !
leave your good self alone, Victor…i can’t wait to see if in fact ,the gulls won’t scare you flat on your butt….when they explode..maybe i’ll visit the beach today all bundled up and see if i can’t scare them up into the sky…but i would never reach your accomplishments in photography, that’s for sure….good luck….and be nice to your self….

Have you ever seen the Hitchcock movie The Birds ? When I was a girl I saw this and this photo would have scared me to death!!! HA! The Film is a Classic Must see and you can see how perfect your photos really display certain aspects of darkness. Irenadawn
