THESE ARE THE BIRDS we saw on our last trip to Louisiana:

Found this last Sunday on my bike ride. I saw the top of the back of his head peeking out from under the lid of a trash bin that was too full to be completely closed. Only about three inches was visible, but the odd flesh color and the way the plastic was stamped (G-10) made me turn my bike around and take a closer look.

The man is a woman, and he relishes the role, showing the audience his boobies. Arms in the air, smiling like a girl, he shakes them side to side. No one isn't happy. Everyone is laughing. A photographer snaps a picture of a ghost.

I've been spending a lot of time scanning old photographs recently, and it's been odd to see how often those images from the past seem to resonate with what's happening today.
