Variations on a theme Cedar Waxwings
What will I do with my
hundreds of photos of
Cedar Waxwings from
the past few weeks…
I see it as an installation…
a bare room, wide pine
board floor, white walls,
neutral gray ceiling, subtle
track lighting, and hundreds
of Cedar Waxwing shots
hung in rows upon the walls,
in all the poses they get
into, the improbable
acrobatics of plucking
berries, dozens of berry
in the beak, the classic
meditative portrait with-
out one fine feather out
of place…groomed by
the wind of their own
passing, no two shots
the same, but so
similar…they might be
all one bird. “Variations”
I would call it,
“Variations on a theme
of Cedar Waxwings.”
Here are two ways of envisioning my Variations on Cedar Waxwings. A Gallery where you can page through them, and a video slideshow.
