How could I have possibly have expected a less than crazy day after a week of absence. I somehow felt as if there were little image clips running in front of my inner eye, somehow not controlled, just there... almost like that adultADD commercial I recently saw on tv... no I do not suffer from ADD, but expressions like "hit the ground running" are there for a reason.
I will just need to "shift gears" "more effectively"... there is so much to do...
and I know that right this minute, there is a feathered guy, a green beaked young pelikan, waiting at the pier, looking for an opportunity to get a fish. He probably, well, most definitely does not remember be, as I walked up to him with that little black box and held it right up to his beak, until that little box clicked... I must have looked really silly, sneaking up on birds, getting as close as I possibly could, avoiding the zoom at all cost. When I took the pictures of these birds, I could smell their feathers, they could definitely smell me too...
and yet I somehow had the very clear feeling of correct distance. I at least had the perception that I could somehow feel what was a comfortable zone for them with my body, them with my hand, them with my camera...
I am not going to shoot bears next week...
I think I like it more to come closer and closer to animals that would usually not trust me... and yet... would not like to kill me...
but again... i was quite happy not to be a little fish...
