I was on a driving tour of the American Southwest. I wanted to get in a shoot while I was in Arizona. A local photographer recommended Dai and I shoot. We couldn't find a wardrobe stylist so we just eliminated the wardrobe. I hope you like it.
I have 16 TB worth of photographs that need to be cleared out.
I have been sorting through my external SSDs, getting rid of all the photographs I should have got rid of on the day I uploaded them.
I have been working through all my SSD exts, which are filled with thousands of photographs, most of which are dross and need to be deleted.
This is not a good shot in the way we ould normally think of but I at least the got the eye dead sharp of this 5-7 day old Wood Pigeon which we have done our best to protect both parents.
I hate the term "fine art" but I don't know what else exactly to call these besides just black and white.

Hector, I like your idea but the lighting doesn't work. I live in AZ. also, I could have help you with this shot...
Thanks Bill. The afternoon sun was pretty low. I wanted the harsh direct sunlight but I didn't want split lighting. I had her sister (the assistant) hold a homemade reflector (white beach towel) to open shadows on her face. We'll have to plan something for the next time I'm in AZ.
Let me know, the next time you pass thru...
BTW... I didn't realize you were in Tucson. I spent a lot of time there before my retirement from my engineering career. We pass through Tucson on the way back home from our visits to Havasu.
You may be right. Thanks!
