No, I'm Not a Bird Photographer, But Thanks For Asking

Yes, nature shots are just a part of what I do with my camera. Do I like birds? I guess I do, especially for as many images as I have collected over the years. I like them for the interesting shapes and curves and lines and their inherent grace. Would I ever want to be considered a bird/nature photographer? I don't think so. I can't tell you why exactly. For some reason I would put that in the same category as people who have six or seven cats. It doesn't feel like me. No offense to those cat people, of course. Anyway, if you consider the adage to consider my actions and not my words... well... you make the call.
