The Bird Whisperer

Hitchcock would be proud of this scene.  Seagull pecking at the eyes of  grandpa while the baby watches in horror.  In the next scene the birds attack the baby ferociously swarming the blue stroller pushing it down the boardwalk.  It will be known as the stroller scene reminiscent of the baby carriage on the stairs scenes in  the classic movies The Battleship  Potemkin and The Untouchables.

A few true colors

My Girls

Taken in the governor's mansion on Governor's Island the original photo of Rachel was blurry along the edges. I decided to reformat the photo texture so that it still retains the composition that I was happy with and gave it a new look.  

I guess the original photo of Elena was taken about 20 years ago when photo art  began to be available  in photo editing programs.  Don't remember the actual photo effect that I used but it combined color and photo elements that make it a
painting portrait.
