Funny to see these on your flickr this morning. But mine was just with a camera phone, nothing fancy, and it didn’t come out particularly well. The really peculiar thing is that I swore, just after I took the picture – putting it really all up in the dead bird’s face and everything – that I saw the bird’s eyes just sort of drop, like the very last bit of life just fell out of it. Right after the picture. [...] [...] Lucy Foley: You know, I took a picture of a dead/dying thrush, not entirely unlike Bird (II) yesterday, too. Funny to see these on your flickr this morning.

It is a subtle but generally unmistakable moment. As for the merits of cam-phones versus big-girl cameras in these situations, I deliberately took a little pain to blur these just a bit, in part to merge each bird with its background slightly but also because not to have done so felt invasive to me. More invasive than what I was doing already. I expect that is what you did see, Lucy. It is a subtle but generally unmistakable moment.

If so, I would like a set, myself. So are these, indeed, high enough resolution for prints? If so, I would like a set, myself.
