Purr of the pigeons

Purr of the pigeons by Samantha Lamb.
heyyyy folks..... first & foremost i want to say that i am coming to Portland, Oregon on thursday the 27th through Oct. 1st to do some work & visiting & shooting..& if there is any of you flickr people out there who want to meet up for coffee, i am up for the occasion:) I am excited about visiting the Coffee shop on belmont....in which is on belmont & used to be a book store... my amazing friends nora & troy just moved to here from portland & they told me all about it:)
you know when you just have a good feeling about something or someplace...well i feel that way about the ocean..that is why i can't wait to jump in...i want to come back to Oklahoma with sand in my hair:)


now for the pic info...this is a repost from more than three years ago... it was accidently deleted..this guy is famous in the plaza area by the notradam cathedral...we chit chated... i split my sandwich with him.... then i took his capture...shortly after i decided i wanted to be a photographer.. to evince emotions & tell stories....because it is always breathgiving when you can be an instrument of peace
