As if simply flying and swimming are not impressive enough, #ducks are also rumoured to be experts in #software#development and are worshipped by software #developers for inventing duck typing.
I haven't been liking and sharing other people's photos as much of late (sorry), but I do appreciate you all. I'm not just puffin you up, either! Thanks.
@Richard_Littler Fascinating! Here's the #WIRED article with the photographer, Antonio #Guillem, who doesn't mention the 60s #Puffin book.
"While multiple shots came out of that session—and countless have featured the same trio over the years—it was “Disloyal man walking with his girlfriend and looking amazed at another seductive girl” that would go on to set the internet ablaze with infinite spins on the same formulaic joke." https://www.wired.com/story/distracted-boyfriend-meme-photographer-interview/
Atlantic Puffins are very cooperative models. Somehow, up until this year, I always visited their summer locations outside of the season, sometimes missing them by just a day. But this year I had a great time photographing them in Shetland. I could do this all summer, every summer, they’re great company!
There is a very long train of thought that led to this, and I'm not sure it helps any really.
Started from me thinking about how puffins have the bearing of early 20th century British colonels, which I'm VERY aware might just be me, so probably best to leave it there.
Anyhow.
Puffins are ace. This one is a bit of a grump though.
