From: Tim Bray
We went for a waterfront walk today, and I took a picture that is
causing family grief. It was of the remains of a bird, slaughtered and
taken apart and almost entirely eaten by a raptor or (more likely) a
feline, left on a granite surface; the contrast between black feathers
and pink muscle tissue was shocking but I thought sort of beautiful
against the speckled stone. Fortunately I had the 50-135mm with me and
got what I think is a hell of a picture. Unfortunately my wife & kids
think I?m a sicko pervert for taking it (a dozen or more shots at
varying exposures, just to be sure, while they averted their eyes) and
even sicker for liking it, and are threatening me with defenestration
or worse if I publish.
I?m not sure what to do. -T
Take 'em to an art museum. Dead birds are a staple of still life painting.
