Latergram of famous Skitten handling summer with aplomb.

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.

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.

#3hot5me Skitten tries to stay cool on a day that’s unjustifiably hot.

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.

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

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