I saw a peacock eating near shrubs and decided to sit on the ground 25 feet in front of him to see if he would come closer. As he came within 20 feet, he walked away from the shrubs, stared at me then went into full plumage. He started doing 90 degree turns as I took many photos of his poses. After 8 or so turns, I got up to leave and he refolded his feathers and walked away like he had showed me up. He did. My blue shirt was no match for his colors.

We don’t make art to show someone what something looks like. All this requires is eyes (or a lens). Art is supposed to have meaning, emotion, power, or magic. Alan & Mario "FourThirds"
