Sometimes photography excels at elevating the everyday to a higher plane, making one appreciate the banal as if it were art, for at least a moment. This image reminds me of Jonathan Livingston Seagull and makes me happy – how do you feel looking at the bird? Did you ever notice you can see right through a bird’s beak from one nostril to another? I learned that making portraits of this bird for 5 minutes one day at sunrise in Miami. (Photograph taken in February 2012)
