Hi,

Our cat, Kinsey, was the subject of this photograph.  She was sleeping as I was preparing to take her picture.  Just as I was ready she woke up and gave me the “Cat Stare Down”, showing me she was peeved because I disturbed her.

This picture was recently published in a book by David Busch called “David Busch’s Digital Photography Bucket List:  100 Great Digital Phots You Must Take Before You Die”.   David is a member of our camera club, The Cleveland Photographic Society.  He proposed his idea of using club member’s photographs in this book that he wanted to write.  Over 2500 photographs were submitted and a panel of members, along with David, selected the 100 photos from that group.

We recently had a book signing event for the book.  David and 37 of the photographers with photos in the book signed books at a local bookstore.  We may have broken the record for the number of authors signing a single book!  It will be fun to see whether we’ll be in the Guinness Book of World Records.  In the meantime,  Kinsey is demanding the best food that Fancy Feast offers.

Here’s something different from my earlier posts.  While walking near the Flats in Cleveland I spotted this trio of doors.  I found myself remembering the old “Let’s Make a Deal” program where contestants had to choose from three doors to possibly win valuable prizes.  Somehow I don’t think there were any valuable prizes behind these doors.

I like the symmetry of this image.  I went with the black and white treatment, though there was little color in the original.
