Default Ducky in the City











Where will that ducky go next. I made that homeless man's day when I let him keep the duck.

Great set and excellent idea on ducky travels. Good to see you made that man's day.

I'm curious though, if/when you get another duck...are you gonna give him a name or keep it generic as Ducky? Hope to see more installments.

So far it's just ducky. I do have 4 or 5 of them.

I'm sure it's an odd thing to see a grown man pull a ducky out of his pocket in a dirty alley downtown Los Angeles.

I guess I can take suggestions for names for the ducky...

Lol, I like this concept Ryan, I look forward to more photos of your duck's adventures! I am thinking of a similar project involving a chair, but this is much more convenient.

I was thinking of using a small "classic" style clock (with the analog face and bells on top). Never got motivated enough though...


I absolutely love the ducky shots though...throws a bit of bright color into an otherwise low color scene...good job!!!

I'm thinking now I should have used some more of my ducks. I'm not really planning on going back up to LA anytime soon. But I will be at an off road race this weekend and an Angels game tonight...
