World Photography Day

Today is a very important day to share with you, because without photography, we wouldn’t be able to share our adventures with you. So happy World Photography Day!

We know that sometimes the camera catches us doing something a little bit goofy.

Pierre: I’m not goofy. I’m concentrating very hard.

And sometimes is even catches us when we are thinking naughty thoughts.

Newton: That’s a naughty hand. I’m innocent!

Other times, our photos just show off how glamorous we are.

Ashton: How glamorous I am. You can’t call that orange ball of fur kicking the human glamorous, can you?

We encourage all of you humans reading, even if you think you aren’t a good photographer, to pick up your camera or even your smartphone and take some photos of your cat. What better day to capture a memory of your kitty than on World Photo Day?

And to all of you cats who are reluctant subjects when the camera comes out yet again, humor your humans today. It’s World Photography Day, so you can play along for just one day and not turn away as soon as you see their finger start to click the shutter. If you can’t bring yourself to do that, at least don’t try to eat the camera.

    Funny enough, I posted some never-before-seen photos today! And I didn’t even know it was World Photography Day before I picked them!

    I think it is fun to take pictures of all the cats here doing their silly stuff. I didn’t know it was World Photography day. Those are some mighty good pictures there at your house.

    This is a fun day! You guys always have the best pics. You’re lucky your human knows how to use a camera. As you can see, we don’t celebrate this day. MOL

    plus pictures are a great way to keep memories alive
    (now mom just has to figure out how the heck she made the memory card on the camera “write only” – it was working the other day….sigh)

    I am still learning the ins and outs of my new camera. So far, my cats MUCH prefer the smartphone camera. It’s faster and quieter, too! But I love the depth of field a good photo can produce. More practice (all around!) is required. And you’ve given me the perfect reason to get some practice time in right now.
