A Picture & a Story from a Photogenic Bird

February 24, 2012 by 4 Comments

Last week I wrote about our similarities as people from the seawall in Alexandria, and this week I write about one subtle difference in culture from across the pond.

In North America, we tend to avoid being in the photos of others, giving the camera a wide birth.  Similarly, I feel awkward about taking pictures of people I don’t know without their permission.  I was reminded of this as I snapped this picture of Lucy Duck at the Bibliotheca Alexandrina.

 

Lucy modeling at the Bibliotheca Alexandrina to demonstrate that being a bird brain is a scholarly thing.

 

I wanted to respect people’s privacy, so I went to the other, less busy side of the sculpture, only to watch people change their course of direction to be in frame with Lucy.

 

Who wouldn't want to be photographed with such a good looking bird!

 

Was reminded that we may avoid being in other’s photos in North America (unless you’re the Banff Squirrel), but hadn’t I discovered the same difference the last time I was in Europe.  Time to change my photographing tactics, because even though Lucy’s one good looking bird, there were some gorgeous locals I might not have the opportunity to photograph again.

Meet Lucy Duck & Other New Travelers

January 26, 2012 by 6 Comments

I’m a little overdue in introducing a few new travelers to our mix, including Lucy Duck, our first storyteller to join us from the UK.

 

 

Some of you may have noticed from facebook, twitter, youtube, and G+ that Lucy Duck joined us from Chasing Ducks Blog back in December and has been having all sorts of adventures with our travelers in Canada and Egypt thus far.

Other new storytellers to the site, include mainstream media travel writer, Jacqueline Swartz, who has shared a couple of tales from Vienna, and our producer, Erica Hargreave, who was roamancing the red boots in Egypt in December. We’ve even recently had our first handsome golden haired male sporting the red boots from the Canadian wilds.

We’ll be adding Lucy, Jacqueline, Erica and Satchmo to our list of traveler’s shortly and look forward to hearing more of their tales, along with some from Lori Yearwood, our other producer.

Kisses,

Emme   xoxo
