In keeping with Robert’s image, “Different Feather”, I too am playing a different kind of winged creature. The evolution of recent bird images for the game has migrated from eatable – to real – to chrome, this then gave me the freedom to explore other kinds of avians. My contribution launches us on a different flight of fancy, perhaps a mythological or spiritual one, certainly angelic. I used a 4×5 view camera to produce this image and racked the focal plane to make this selective focus still life. This technique creates an other-world quality in the image, freeing it from the literalness of the static statue itself.
