Middle Class
Wichita, Kansas
2016

The information on this display indicated this room was outfitted to represent a typical middle class living room in the later half of the 19th century. I guess the middle class just isn’t what it used to be.

I don’t know any of the particulars about this statue, so what the intended message was is unknown to me. The general body language of this young girl suggests strong self-confidence, but the bowed head is more indicative of a shy demeanor.

I neglected to note the name of this bird when we were at the zoo in Wichita.

This tony Nicobar Pigeon definitely moves in different circles than any fit in with (although the Fashion Queen could certainly keep up with the best Nicobarian style trends). In keeping with the bird’s obvious interest in looks, I processed this image as a glamor shot. However it holds its own quite well without any help from me. Here’s another shot of the same bird that is unretouched.
