	filmtank says: Beautiful series MB! I love the light in this photo and the way the bird has been displayed. Appears to be in the middle of two worlds at once...the living (flying) and the dead (crucified)...reminds me about migrating birds crashing into skyscrapers because they become disoriented with the lights at night. Also echoes some imagery from the film Angels and Insects. Great work MB! Posted 43 months ago. ( permalink )
	Mymseebi says: Thanks for the comments filmtank! And I appreciate the analysis. Angels and Insects is a great film for imagery. The whole feeling of that film seems to be one of hovering somewhere on the edge of beauty and decay. Incidentally, Walkabout is another good one for that. Posted 43 months ago. ( permalink )
	Mandragora says: hey....I´ve seen lots of dead birds (animals...) here, but your series is gorgous! Like the angle in each. Reminds me a lot to Horst Janssen´s work, too. And he´s right: the death has its esthetic sides. This one is fav´d :-) Posted 43 months ago. ( permalink )
	Mymseebi says: Thanks Mandragora. I really like Horst Janssen's work. I found a little book of his drawings in a second hand store years ago and bought it immediately - it was one of those fortuitous finds. I'd never heard of him before that. Posted 43 months ago. ( permalink )
	Mandragora says: I´ve Horst Janssen pictures from a dead sparrow and a dead blackbird (not yet on the walls - they don´t fit into the kitchen too much :-) He´s my favourit artist. Posted 43 months ago. ( permalink )
