Nov 28th, 2008 | "Porch Turkey" I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving, and in honor of the day, I decided to dig way back in the archives an post the Porch Turkey! OK... this one may need a little explaining. A few years ago we pulled up in the driveway and saw this. A huge turkey on our porch. I don't know what he was doing there or where he came from. I know he was an domesticated turkey, cause wild turkeys are never this fat, are way more skittish and they are nearly always black/brown. (Although there are some wild white turkeys, like This One that I saw in Cades Cove, but they are extremely rare). It was a really odd thing to come home to. I ran around back and got some bread to lure it off the porch, it didn't work though and I ended up just getting between him and the door. He finally wandered off, but not without leaving us little gifts all over our mat as well as the porch. |

About meI am a 26 year old broadcast engineer from Pensacola, FL. I was 14 when I bought my first real camera, a Canon AE-1 Program with a 50mm/1.4 and 135mm/3.5. I took photography in high school and college, learning about the technical aspects of photography as well as dark room processes. After high school, I wasn't taking as many pictures as I used to because of the cost of film and developing. A while later, I bought a point and shoot digital camera and started taking lots of pictures again. In October of '05 I bought a Rebel XT and really caught the bug again. I had been holding out for a while, waiting for the Canon 5D to be updated, but it got to the point where I needed a new camera. This May I purchased a 40D. I will be eventually buying a 5D but for now, I need to build up my lens collection.I have taken more photographs in the last 3 years than I have in my entire life before that. In addition to digital, I have also developed an interest in Polaroid photography, which is bad timing since Polaroid is discontinuing instant film. I am also looking into trying out medium format and possibly going back into b/w 35mm. I am working on getting better at photography and hope to one day possibly do this for more than just a hobby.LinksMy Polaroid PhotoblogMy personal website Future Home of My Design Website My Photo Projects Gallery
