Holy beautiful bird pictures! I found the most amazing website/photographer today.

Andrew Zuckerman is a New York-based photographer and film director who has received critical acclaim for his 3 portrait books - “Creature”, “Bird”, and “Wisdom: The Greatest Gift One Generation Can Give To Another” . The first 2 books are filled with portraits of wild animals and birds. “Wisdom” consists of portraits of different famous figures like Jane Goodall and Buzz Aldrin along with their words of wisdom. Zuckerman has a really simple, beautiful style of photography - just the subject on a white background. It seems to make them more “human”, especially the birds. For example the condor looks almost shy and timid.

Personally,  I like the “Bird” book the best, the colors and textures of all the birds are just incredible to look through and I could definitely fritter away a few hours just going through all the images on the site. I don’t have the actual book so if anyone needs a Christmas gift idea….

For your viewing pleasure I have included a few picture of the birds I really liked…
