APAD(ish) #16-18: Cat, cat, and cat

[nonelvis]

I have been incredibly remiss about posting photos for APAD(ish), even though I have been trying to take one every day. Unfortunately, when I don't get off my ass and leave the house, that means a photo of the cat. (Maybe you find this more interesting than I do? This is probably because you don't live with the cat full-time.)

Anyway, photos 16-18, behind a cut so as to spare your friends page.

The rule is very simple: if he yowls until I have to hold him on my lap to shut him up, he should not be surprised when I try to take a photo of him. Unfortunately, he disagrees with this rule. Too bad.



KITTY FEETS! This is also the only photo that shows any microscopic bit of skill whatsoever.



This is what happens when he thinks we're ignoring him: he tries to climb on the coffee table. He's gone deaf enough now that if I catch him there and start yelling and waving my hands to get him to move, he just stares at me with that "what the hell is your problem, crazy lady?" look.

Here, he's mid-yowl, complaining that I never let him do anything fun.



Tomorrow: I actually have to leave the house for a meeting! If I have time to walk there, I already know what I'll photograph on the way home. (Hint: not a cat.)

I love Mr. Peterson pictures! And not only because it makes me feel better about taking cat photos.

The feet are very cute.

I used to tell newbie photographers that the only thing separating them from, well, journeyman photographers was 100 rolls of film. (ie. 3600 pictures)

I'm not sure if that number should be increased or decreased in the digital era. I would guess that if you take 20-40 pictures a day, and do it for 100 days in a row, and get frequent feedback and editorial insight, and do a little reading to find out how to use different techniques, you'd probably be very far along the road.

The good news is, you don't have to pay for film, or stand around in a darkroom breathing stinky chemicals. The bad news is, you might end up learning more about Photoshop than Photography.

Mr. P and my Bumble could be expression twins. She pulls similar faces when 1) I am on the computer and thus not giving her adequate attention, 2) I am scolding her about hip checking Maya away from the food bowl and 3) when I try to explain to her that there is no way in the world I can breathe when she places all 18 lbs. of herself on my chest when she wants to have a morning cuddle.

Kitty feets! I love kitty feets.

I spy Harry Potter hardbacks on the bookshelf behind him ;)

And that expression! I can imagine him saying Do I have to stand on two feet like a human before you'll actually LISTEN to me?
