Description
This is my nameless cat. He is a member of Shadow's Band of Nameless Thieves. They are an all cat organization that eat crickets and scratch my hands. I took this picture one day with my Mom's camera. Before I went out she said that using film on a cats was a waste. She's a good Mom though, she was just traumatized as a child when a cat urinated on her brand new recital dress.------------------------update-------------------------------------
I went back to my original scan, (this was a film shot, not digital) I did some contrast and sharpness adjustments that I feel made it worth updating.
-----------------------update------------------------------------
I asked my Mother about what kind of camera I borrowed from her that day. It was a Minolta Maxxum 3xi. I'm thinking about playing around with that one again this Spring to see what I think about it now that I know a little bit more about cameras.

Whoa, I just realized that I skimmed too fast the 2nd two updates, and then read them closer AFTER my initial comment.
I just LOVE that this is a film photo.
My mom shot with a Minolta, most of the time when I was a kid. From what I know, they made great film cameras! At least I remember my mom always being happy when she got her photos back!

Excellent expression, colour, contrasts, everything! I'm lovin' it!
'Course I can't help be a big fan of these types of sub-galleries, I have a gigantica one myself of cats and dogs- which is also at the top of all the sub-galleries!
But DON'T get me wrong, it's NOT all I do.

The cat is beautiful
I've always wanted to play around with a film camera, but I'm scared I'm too used to digital...

Thank you. I took this years ago before I owned a camera. I convinced my mom to let me use her camera. I didn't really know what I was doing and I sorta just got lucky. When I go home, I'm going to borrow it again to see what I can do with it now that I know a little more.
Digitals are very convenient. It's hard to imagine not being able to see your picture as soon as you take it.

I wouldn't have a clue how to do the lighting... and I would have to actually watch my cropping, which is probably one of my weak points!

Thank You very much. It was one I took while I was still borrowing my Mom's film camera. Looking back on it, It seems like I got really lucky on this one.
Thank you.

I have a cat that looks exactly like that one, the only difference being that mine is cross-eyed.

thank you very much for the favourite. a cross-eyed cat huh? I've never seen one of those. On my parents farm we have a cat with really short legs. It's cool.

well, back in the day when I took this picture, I spent more time with my cats than I did with my family, so I didn't really use words. I just basically made a lot of different meowing and purring sounds. So names really didn't enter in to. It wasn't until my family started asking me about my cats that I had to start naming them.

how can a cat be nameless? i mean,every cat has a personality. or at least,mine.

I love this photo.
The focusing is wonderful. The contrast is great. And the composition is perfect! His eyes look beautiful.
And the fact that it's film adds a great touch.
