An Old Old Favorite

[pstewart]

I just added this today to my "critters" photo gallery. It's the oldest photo in any of my galleries. I took it the summer after college with a Voightlander range-finder camera I bought in Germany. It's still one of my personal favorites, even if it is old.

Phyllis, what is the object at the lower right?

Phyllis, what is the object at the lower right?

The photographer's shadow? Or do you mean the baby bottle?

Bottles are sometimes used to feed baby animals whose mother's have died or are not available. Just like human baby bottles.

It is certainly beautiful and especially so due to the curiosity in the stance of the cat. It's all about timing the shot and capturing the instance. If you were a second late it may lost the magic.

Thank you. Yes, this lamb was without a mother, so they bottle fed it. It grew up to be a healthy happy sheep with lambs of its own. The shadow looks a bit too squarish and regular to be my head, but then you never know...maybe I'm a blockhead and just didn't know it. That is the most likely explanation however. Not that I'm a blockhead, but that it's my shadow.

I'd better quit before I make this worse.
