Glancing out the window as my wife drove us home from the park the other day I saw the barcalounger abandoned behind an abandoned retail store. It was knocked over, despite the warning to DONT PUSH!, a mere few feet away (see far 9 oclock in scan). The path where the barcalounger bled out caught my eye, the hawk(s) circled above, we pulled over, I crawled out the passenger window, and stood upon the roof of the family SUV as I took a few rolls with my pocket camera. What was most fun about the shoot was to lean down, knock on the roof of the car and send messages to the kids when I needed to pause and reload and such. The next day I came back with my full MF rig and the energy from the scene was gone. The neighborhood kids had their way with the barcalounger over the prior 24 hours, it was no longer on its side but flipped over and stomped to bits (probably used as some kind of skateboard ramp or leaping pad?). I came back a couple more times that week to continue shooting and it only became worse. So this shot you see from my original scouting expedition was what worked as best I wanted to communicate, my appreciation for this shot is more because it has all the angles and the elusive hawk(s) circle above with our protagonist in its last throws of service.
