And a few horizontal ones also from our first braai of summer. It feels like it’s really here now.

Some pics from our first braai of the summer, kindly hosted by @johnthevudio Swimming, good food, nice whiskey, birds and summer breezes, and loads of cute cats.

I don’t think they enjoyed being apart.

Crumb is pretty pleased to have his little sister home again.

Wicked little Miss Trinket is back home after turning us into shattered wrecks over the last three days.

WTF is this shit?

March 24, 2018

Sat, 24 Mar 2018 12:27:08 +0000

Crumb thinks Skitten is his ma and snuggles like this - something that Skitten is at long last grudgingly beginning to accept.

March 23, 2018

Fri, 23 Mar 2018 15:45:33 +0000

Having survived the horrors of the vacuum, Crumb and Trinket are being sweet to each other for a change.

None of this is of any interest to Mr. Crumb.

All cats all the time I’m afraid. I should start taking more interesting pics again as Feb goes on. My handsome boy is in danger of getting fat. He eats twice as much as the others.

This is that same 105mm Nikkor from the ‘70s that I posted last year. It’s my fave 35mm lens at the moment. On this crop sensor it’s a 158mm f2.5 - a perfect portrait lens.

Still remembering how to use a ten year old dslr. The screen isn’t high res enough to judge focus even roughly. So, again, it’s a bit like shooting film. You’ve got to be pretty sure when you press the shutter. Another thing that hasn’t changed in ten years is that Skitten still loves a box.

February 10, 2018

Sat, 10 Feb 2018 12:10:54 +0000

An old dlsr like the Nikon D200 makes you work harder - a bit like shooting film. You don’t want to go above ISO400 to avoid noise. But it still has big advantages over a phone camera if used right.

It’s a strange scene, but it’s home. I should prolly get that loudspeaker re-covered. And maybe get a stand made for them so that we can use those chairs again…

A tough old boy we got to see doing his thing this morning. I’m pretty sure all of us have some kind of species memory for when we were very much on these guys’ menu. There’s an eerie feeling when you see them up close. And they feature often in my nightmares.

December 19, 2017

Tue, 19 Dec 2017 00:04:51 +0000

He’s not the messiah, he’s just a very silly boy.

December 14, 2017

Thu, 14 Dec 2017 15:14:38 +0000

Trinket gleefully steals my postprandial spot on the couch. It’s become her signature move.

December 13, 2017

Wed, 13 Dec 2017 10:17:52 +0000

Mr Crumb is a bit of an anxious boi. When he’s scared like now (there’s a jackhammer doin him a concern) he snuggles up with Skitten.

December 06, 2017

Wed, 06 Dec 2017 00:16:06 +0000

She’s really rather silly, our Trinket.

The château. Skitten doesn’t like to be disturbed while Crumb is staying alert for sky-raisins.

This boy. So handsome. So gormless…

It’s been a long day involving a frightening vacuum cleaner.

If it gets too hot though, a smart Crumb cools off with a refreshing raid on an unattended watering can. 💦 .
