It was not the nicest day in April. It rained, it was windy and cold. But there were friendly visitors in town and we were on the Staten Island ferry. The Seagulls followed the boat. There was a swarm of them and they were quite close. It was a bit too dark, I was shooting against the . Had they taken pictures of me, they would have probably been well lit and bright. For me they appear as mere shadows in the sky. Quite majestic shadows.
