Who is Kwai Chang?

I love the 1972 TV show Kung Fu starring David Carradine as Kwai Chang Caine. I love the character Kwai Chang. That's why I borrowed the name. If you've ever seen the show, then you should be familiar with the 'Wanted Poster'. For three seasons, David's 'stunt liaison' (stuntman/double) was Greg Walker. I was lucky enough to meet Greg through a mutual friend and we've been friends ever since. He no longer lives in California, but he always visits when he's close by. One day, he stopped by to give me a copy of the wanted poster that he kept from the show. It is my prized possession. Then, he asked if he could take some pictures of the chickens. I had been trying to get some good pictures of KiKi all along...well, Greg grabbed his camera turned it on and went 'click' and took the absolute best picture of KiKiRi ever. It is my favorite picture and the one that I am trying to re-capture with my other roosters. So, Greg Walker and Kwai Chang Caine are both inspirations that make up who I am. Thanks, Grasshopper!!!
