Welcome to Quotidian Photography!

I'm so glad you found my blog. I'm a San Francisco photographer, and this blog is how I stay sharp in the ever-evolving world of photography. I'm passionate about capturing the world around me with my camera, and I try to share that passion with you here. To find out more about me, check out my About page. And don't miss my website!

One of the things I love about photography is that it's a journey, not a destination. I'm constantly learning new things and meeting new and wonderful people. I really couldn't wish for anything more.

Looking Back - 2011 Pets and Other Animals

It's no secret that I love shooting animals.

Wait, that came out a bit wrong.

As a card-carrying vegetarian (yes, I have a card. Ask me to see it some time . . .) I feel like I'm almost obligated to tell the story of our furred and feathered friends. Well, yeah, maybe. Mostly I just find animals fascinating and just so darn photogenic I can't help myself.

Yes, about 50% of these are just shots of my own cats. What can I say? They're just so stinking cute and I'm only human. The other 50% are shelter cats, some random animals I found on my travels (I'm talking about you, Squiggles!), some wild animals from zoos, safari parks and such . . . .

Whatever their provenance, thanks to the animals for always reminding me what's important: food, a warm bed, a good nap, and looking good. :)



Mouseover the image to see it in color. 































Come back tomorrow to see my top ten images of 2011 (non-person and non-animal). Before you see them if you have any recommendations, I'd love to hear them. As always, thanks for your feedback and support!
