The Birds

I shot this today with my "new" 1976 Polaroid SX-70. What an amazing camera. I thought that it was kind of ironic that, since each shot now costs me $1.25, I am using the DSLR to check composition before I pull the trigger on the SX-70. Sort of a role reversal...

THANK YOU Michael! I was trying to figure out why this shot disturbed me so much!

Too many times watching "The Birds" when I was a little girl has left me haunted and deeply fearful of seeing birds gathering "innocently" on a wire. ;)

I meant to add that this is eerily Hitchcock. Each time I view the image, I wonder if there will be more birds on the wires. -Michael
