This pic is an addendum to the series Carved in Stone. It was taken in Long Beach, CA. The statue is of Lincoln I suppose and it felt as if all the pigeons were posing for me. I mean imagine the statue to be really big and instead of pigeons there are models posing on the pedestal. But you know how difficult it is to get top models..you call them and then wait till your grandkid picks up the phone one day and say "Grandpa it's Heidi Klum's assistant for you. She says she'll do the shoot now but only if you provide a walking stick and the lighting is not too harsh on her wrinkles"...and I roll my eyes and think geez now she'll perfectly with the writing on the statue "Old Glory"... Ok so you'll have to stretch your imagination to the limit, humor me will ya? Oh come on just for a minute. For a second?
