About the Item

A formal and highly balanced composition based on the random positions of pigeons caught the eye of street photographer Mitchell Funk. Each pigeon has it's own pose and personality. Since he always has a Nikon on his person, he acted immediately to capture this perfect and harmonious relationship. Seconds later, new pigeons arrived, jockeyed for space, and the magic relationship disappeared. Funk's street photography has always been a voice for tight design, color, and carefully composed compositions. The photograph is signed, dated, numbered, 2/15 lower right; another size is available. Unframed, printed later Printed on Hahnemühle Fine Art paper. Mitchell Funk is a pioneer of " Color Photography" In 1970 he participated in one the first " Color Photography" shows at a major museum.
