| When gathering was still a thing London, ON February 2020 This photo originally shared on Instagram |
I shot this on Clarence Street on February 26th, an otherwise ordinary day on an ordinary lunch hour on an ordinary #LdnONT downtown sidewalk. I had been deliberately heading out for midday walks with nothing more than a smartphone, part of my plan to sharpen my street photography skills.
The pigeons struck me as amusing - and surprisingly unafraid as I crouched down and composed from a number of angles. I got the usual stares from the humans around me, but for some reason the birds weren't bothered at all.
The lesson from this, I think, is this: Be more like birds. Just not now. Maybe after all this is over.
In the meantime, I think more walks are called for. I expect them to be a lot emptier than the scene you see here.
But I'll bring the smartphone. Just in case my newfound feathered friends decide to make another appearance.
