A sea gull rests by New York City's East River; photo by Katie DooleyOver the weekend, the intrepid New York City photographer Katie Dooley inexplicably found herself on the Brooklyn side of the East River. Armed with her Canon EOS Digital Rebel Xti with the Canon - 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM Telephoto Zoom Lens, she was able to capture these amazing images of a sea gull enjoying a moment of repose in a hectic environment.

Says Katie about this photo:

I’ve been pooped on by a sea gull at least twice. The funny thing about these dirty birds is that the same gull that trashes a beautiful beach can snazz up any old city dump with the sounds and sights of vacation.

Well said, Dooley. And by all means, keep the beautiful photos coming.

  2. Jose says:

    Unfortunately, no photographer has that kind of skill or magic, the sis.

    Exactly what is meant by “inexplicably finding herself on the Brooklyn side of the East River”? Do I detect a dis of my beloved Brooklyn? Watch your step, young buck!

  4. TeeKay says:

    Everyone knows that Brooklyn seagulls are much more photogenic than Manhattan seagulls.

  5. LP says:

    Well, right you are TeeKay! That’s what I’m talkin’ about!

  6. Jose says:

    Ok, everyone just calm down. I live in and love the fine Brooklyn myself. No disses intended. Dooley, however, is not a Brooklynite, so it’s simply interesting to note that this is where she did her hunting that day. Peace and love.

    Although I admit to thriving on controversy.

  8. Pops says:

    So Jose… are you saying she’s a fearless photographer?

    needs more garlic.

  13. TeeKay says:

    Sure am glad New York photographer kate dooley didn’t have the telephoto lens while snapping pix at the various LifeBrands parties!

    Although I didn’t have Monte Zoomer back in those days, there’s a good chance I have some up-close shots of TeeKay’s feet anyway. Do I smell a Part II post?
