Talks Too Much
It’s been all quiet round here of late as my wife and I took a trip to San Francisco and Lake Tahoe to see a good friend who was turning 30. Neither of us had been to SF before but luckily enough we not only had friends as guides, but on the last day we hooked up with some of the great folks at CALIBER – Julie, Stuart and Travis – as well as SF’er Amber. We’ll catch up another time Troy! It was great to go out shooting with them. We certainly got the unconventional and slightly off-the-tourist-map tour. The CALIBER folks have been very good to me and I’ve admired all their work since they started CALIBER. While riding one of the old Muni cars from the Mission towards downtown and the Ferry Building, I forget exactly where now, this character and his retinue got on. Stuart had seen him before. The bird’s name is Talks Too Much and he was accompanied by Tim and Tiny. Talks Too Much didn’t utter a word while he rode with us but he was a friendly sort and eventually climbed form the chair back onto my wife’s arm. It was a great trip and I have plenty of processing still to do. So…more to come.
Great composition. Looking forward to seeing more.
Ed,
It was such a pleasure meeting you and your wife! I just wished we had more time. There are so many things we could see and photograph. But you got off to a very good start. This photo (and the story) are wonderful. The expression on her face when the bird crawled over… priceless!
Thanks again for making time for a visit and hopefully you’ll be back on the Left Coast again.
Ha! What a great shot. I can’t wait to see what else you captured.
Thanks Kate. I’ve got a bunch I’m happy with so stay tuned.
beautiful poem,
Thanks, but I’m pretty sure you meant this to be on the “Torching” post.
