Cat The Model

Cat The Model

I just love photographing all live creatures. My problem is that I am too shy to photograph people unless I know them very well or unless I am keeping safe distance and do it fast. My other problem is that I don’t have a macro lens to photograph bugs, flies, and other insects. And my yet another problem is that I don’t have any pets. All of these problems make finding subjects pretty tough for me.

Today, while walking with Maxim in the park, I met this cat. She (yes, it was a she) had some business around the bench that we were using, and she didn’t mind me photographing her at all. She posed for me in different locations – on the ground, on the roots of the tree, up on the tree, in the bushes, etc. I made something close to 100 shots. Almost all of them came out good, and those which didn’t still had some potential. In order not to have a bunch of similar and thus boring pictures, I decided to play a bit with Gimp and postprocess them differently. Needless to say that I got bored somewhere half the way. As usual. I started deleting pictures. Or processing them in a fast, copy-paste manner. Or ruining them on purpose.

Anyway, I still managed to get a good number of pictures and hopefully they wouldn’t bore you too much while you’ll be looking at them. Let me know which ones you liked better.

Jesus house

Jesus house

I know that everyone and their brother are buying property in Cyprus, but I find it very hard to believe that Jesus himself came here and bought an apartment on the third floor of the building next to Starbucks coffee. Maybe someone is trying to pretend. Or maybe somebody is waiting for The Second Coming and wants him to have a place to stay. I don’t know.
