Survival of the Fittest


wow!, how many pigeons New York City has? where do all of them come from? so i was waiting for a friend around Bryant Park, when all of a sudden a lady threw bread on the concrete right next to me, i saw all these pigeons coming at me, and i saw how much they were fighting to get a piece of the bread, kinda of people live here in here New York City always trying to get a piece of the bread, before the bigger pigeon gets it. I believe is a great picture because it shows how much the pigeons are fighting to survive. I was lucky to zoom in this much without scaring them.





<------------This is where they came from.

That’s a very profound comparison. I have a question, however. How much does a person know about his/her preservation that he looks onto another’s and automatically believes he can differentiate between theirs and his/her own? Pigeons aren’t picky about the food they eat. Sometimes they’ll eat garbage and be satisfied. Yet us, we throw away anything that doesn’t give us pleasure. And even sometimes, we dump our food because is too much. Nevertheless, it is a beautiful picture; beautiful enough to start interesting dialogues.
