Among my goals for 2026 is to post every day—a task so far successfully achieved. But today has been unusually frenetic, and I am short on time. So, I share something unintended, recognizing there are too many cats.
Crazy thing, I am being honest, cats aren’t my obsession—or even close to it. I started shooting portraits of felines in October 2016 as an exercise to improve my photographic skills and as a process part of restoring my eyesight, following cataracts surgery and ongoing treatment for Macular Edema (that 10 years later is no longer necessary). Because so many people are cat crazy, I continued pursuing them.
We do own two longhairs, and Cali presented such lovely pose yesterday that I simply must share (and fulfill today’s posting goal). The Featured Image and companion come from Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra. Vitals for both: f/2.9, ISO 640, 1/120 sec, (synthetic) 230mm (digital and optical zoom); 8:11 a.m. PDT.
In the second shot, Cali stares into sunlight pouring through the open front door. Both photos are composed as captured; neither is altered.
