Kittens for Caturday

Is there anything better than a box full of kittens? If there is, I can't think of it. Everything's better with kittens. And these ones were incredible: a dark smoky gray with almost hidden stripes. I have this fantasy of one person adopting all three kittens and then just having a home with three gorgeous gray beasts prowling around it for the next 20 years. Please, someone, make this come true. Separately they're still beautiful, of course, but together they're jaw-dropping.

Kittens, of course, being what they are, wriggly little things, we actually didn't get a great picture of all three of them together, but I know you're creative enough to imagine it.

Kitten tongue!

Kitten belly!

More kitten belly.

And then there was this dude, a total lover, strangely named Chris Rock. He'd headbutt your hand if you stopped petting him.

And darling little Emma. Petite, and perfect. Such a pretty face.

Kitten paw!

And this long-haired duo, who I also hope get adopted together. Such a great contrast!

And last but not least, Jinx, who looked like her face was spray painted one side at a time by someone using a ruler. Tell me, have you ever seen a cat like this before? 

Even her nose is perfectly divided in two.

Film Friday - Santa Barbara in Black and White

A few more photos from Santa Barbara, this time in black and white. One roll of Ilford HP5 Plus, and one of Ilford Delta 3200.

From a recent session . . .

More to come soon!

Raechel, Keith and Brooklyn

Raechel, Keith and Brooklyn (is that not the best name ever?) were in town for a few days from Arizona, and wanted a few memories of the city to take back with them, so we met up on Baker Beach one blazingly sunny morning.

I don't know what it is, but there's just something about blue that photographs so well. I loved their outfits.

Cute!

Rabbits and Guinea Pigs and a Quail, oh my!

While I am all about posting cat photos, sometimes it feels right to change it up a bit. So here are some small furry creatures who might not be of the feline persuasion but who are definitely just as cute.

The black bunny's name was Snuggles, and if there has ever been a better named rabbit I haven't heard of it. It was hard to photograph him because he kept jumping into my lap! In my experience, that's pretty common behavior from cats, but not from rabbits. Such a sweetheart.

And then there was Leo, the lion head rabbit, who was also coincidentally a lap bunny (obviously this is awesome for the eventual adopter, but makes getting a photo a bit harder. I can't usually photograph my own lap that well). And what a hairstyle! Most of the time his eyes are completely obscured by his fringe.

See what I mean? No eyes!

And this cutie is Piglet, a rather timid but very pretty guinea pig.

And we finished off with a quail! He got a bit excited and flapped around and shed a few feathers, but then he settled down for some photos and I even got to stroke him a bit. Such a pretty fellow.

Come on, you know you want to adopt someone from Animal Care and Control San Francisco.
