Feathers of Seduction

NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC MAGAZINE - JULY 2007.

Title: Feathers of Seduction

Thirteen species of the remarkable Birds of Paradise are featured in this article photographed in Papua New Guinea and Indonesia.

Breathtaking? Surreal?

Bird of Paradise; sans human intervention, one of many creations in a state of nature. Cool black facemask; stylishly designed contrasting yellow scarf, and all seamlessly weaved into brown shades, red shades to red plumes; a mischievous springy pair of corkscrew-wires that complete the stunning design by transcendently fashionable nature.

Just WOW. Millions, millions of us have seen others stunning and telling photographs, I cannot resist but to flaunt one most aspiring truth that lied behind each of these photos; a truth unseen, unspoken and unwritten.

The truth - the extreme dedication, painstaking attention, steadfast concentration, lingering dangers and lurking risks a photojournalist has to take.

Together with our advancing cyberspace technology, we are very fortunate to be able to have access to the world of photography. Perhaps I leave this truth to dictate my next post?
