An Incomplete Dictionary of Show Birds is a study of a hobby that to most is a hidden world.
It began with a very simple idea, that author wanted to photograph budgies, influenced by prize pigeon photography this was all I set out to do. Upon entering this world he discovered a whole range of wonderfully colourful and interesting birds and the hobby of bird keeping that he began to learn about and was fascinated with it. Luke has produced a book of the project which can be ordered here: www.incompletedictionary.com
