ENTRY DESCRIPTION
The Great Egret series represents an environmental win as these birds were once almost hunted to extinction for their plumes to grace fashionable lady's hats. Being a female photographer who brings this bird's beauty back to into public view without harm also contributes to the statement of how far women have grown in their quest for identity and validation. About the work, birds-in-flight present a technical challenge in that there are two types of motion to overcome. A forward motion as the bird gets from place to place and the wing motion that's moving at a different speed. Outdoor photography of water birds also presents a challenge in South Carolina because there are insects, snakes, and alligators competing for space at the edges of the waterways where the birds wade.
