Cat photography

Would there be any interest in me talking about photographing cats? Any questions you'd like answered?

In the meantime, I give you this:

I'm really glad I started using 500px. It's much more community minded than SmugMug, and a lot more about the photos than the award systems of Flickr. Going back and looking through quite a lot of unpublished photos, I'm renewing my passion for taking pictures. I don't know that any big trips are in the works for 2013 - I'm thinking more and more of exploring Alberta. For example, today I learned from a coworker that Lethbridge boasts a Japanese garden. I've never been to Lethbridge and I smell road trip ...

Sprouts!

Monday, I set up a little heated indoor greenhouse and planted seeds.

Tonight I found this:

Sprouts!

I planted two varieties of tomatoes (green zebra and tiny tim) and they are sprouting! Nothing from the pansies, cilantro, or peppers yet.

Kitties!

I'm digging through pictures from the last few months ... really need to get back in the habit of posting photos regularly.

Those crazy kids

I work with a lot of young people. The latest craze, according to them, is hadoken "Which is like Japanese planking!"

What it really is, is posing as if you're in a video game, and one person in the middle poses as if in a video game, blowing everyone else away. Everyone else jumps away at the same time as if blown away.

Which explains this:

They decided we would do it that day! Obviously I didn't know in advance, or I would have worn something sexier and more hadoken-worthy (I'm on the far left). That was our tenth take, I think.

The cast of The Good Wife is also hip:



The Chive has more examples.
