A Floater


"A Floater." Strange term, isn't it? It's what they ask for when they need the odd photo here and there to drop into a page in the paper. Not an assignment, just window dressing. So that's what they needed today. I found a really neat scene with a boardwalk, some european-looking lamps, and a foggy harbor. It desperately needed a person, but since it was drizzling there were no people to be found in half an hour's waiting. While I was waiting, I started looking for other things, and thought this seagull made an interesting photo - not so much because of him, but because of the interesting railing he was walking on. The thing is, with the Super Bowl Parade in NYC today, and it being Super Tuesday, there is slim chance this photo will ever see the light of day. And maybe it deserves that fate.

  1. yes an interesting photo - like the seagull is walking a tight-rope. I can even hear him saying to himself "steady, steady......"
