The Death of Harry The Messenger

2009.01.13
St Theresa Gardens, Dublin

(Or another sad contribution to Such a Waste series).

Walked very slowly through some gray areas today. Local kids showed me what they have found. Hmm.

etodd80 Looks like it would fit into "such a waste" pretty well. He's pretty messed up...

ppinho Not a good death for what I see! I think that Harry was carrying my notification of promotion! Well, maybe next year! ;)

davidcardona Another broken heart... Touching but aesthetically well done photo. Thanks for sharing!

davidcardona "Death is always on the way, but the fact that you don't know when it will arrive seems to take away from the finiteness of life. It's that terrible precision that we hate so much. But because we don't know, we get to think of life as an inexhaustible well. Yet everything happens a certain number of times, and a very small number, really. How many more times will you remember a certain afternoon of your childhood, some afternoon that's so deeply a part of your being that you can't even conceive of your life without it? Perhaps four or five times more. Perhaps not even. How many more times will you watch the full moon rise? Perhaps twenty. And yet it all seems limitless."

Paul Bowles

"La muerte siempre está en camino. Como no sabemos cuando vamos a morir, llegamos a creer que la vida es un pozo inagotable. Sin embargo, todo sucede un cierto número de veces y no demasiadas. ¿En cuantas ocasiones te vendrá a la memoria aquella tarde de tu infancia? Una tarde que ha marcado el resto de tu existencia. Una tarde tan importante que ni siquiera puedes concebir tu vida sin ella. Quizás 3 ó 4 veces, quizás ni siquiera eso y ¿cuantas veces más contemplarás la luna llena? Quizás 20. Y sin embargo, ¡todo parece tan ilimitado!"

Nellinka Moving shot. A message which has never been delivered.. a whole story.. maybe a tragedy?

MrSaSa ooooooooh!
damm....
poor bird..
but i like it
MrSaSa · 2009-01-14: 06:23
opary very good shot.
I think the bird had to be quite beautiful when it was still alive. I mean, look at those feathers.
and there is a message... really good shot.

makaid Good addition to your project. Evidence of the food chain. But the food is wasted.

cardan I can't stop thinking at what it is wrote in his leg ring. there's a whole discusion here: what that pidgeon was? a spy? a love messenger? maybe somebody blackmailing somebody, or threating somebody ... who killed him? an accident? a rough revenge? is somebody sad if the mail don't come? or not? hmm, hmm

focussed Harry looks as though he met a very violent death.
Nothing like finding dead birds as a child is there?! It ignites such excitement and curiosity.

longimanus poor kids... though everyone has to be confronted with death once. i remember the first time I was... a cat badly overdriven by a truck. never forget that picture.
longimanus · 2009-01-16: 05:46
Robertthebob That is quite a picture - very very good.

lalmendra Nice photo and very suggestive.
