Capturing Cats
More than one friend has told me recently I should consider going into pet photography. One Facebook fan actually inquired as to what lens I’d used to capture a particularly close shot of Petie’s nose. I had to admit to … Continue reading

Cute Boys With Cats

When I received an email invitation out of the blue asking if I’d attend some sort of cat art party I was surprised and suspicious (what exactly was this and what did they want from me). But having just returned from at blogging … Continue reading
Life-Changing Pet Portraits

Holy Cat, People Magazine Interviews Me!
Actually PeoplePets interviews me – even better! Paris and Heidi hide your pups because it’s time for I HAVE CAT (s)! They wanted a picture of me with Kip and Petie, but for better or worse, I realized I didn’t … Continue reading
Cat’s Pee on a Gooseberry Bush
