THE PHOTO:
One of the last taken of my pet cat Mo before he passed away last weekend. Mo had a sudden turn which left him paralyzed half-way down. Already only having three legs from an earlier encounter with a rat-trap some years ago there was no way he could continue.

I had Mo (named geekily enough after Mozilla the web browser) since 2002 as a kitten. He was a fiesty and somewhat annoying cat, but even after I found out that I suffered a mild allergy to cats after I took him home, he remained a fixture.

R.I.P Mo.

A simple image rotation has transformed Marlon - my fluffy cat, sunning himself on the paving stones at my front door, to an evil vampire cat defying gravity as he mischievously shows a single fang...

More to prove that I am still here than an opportunity to take a mundane dog-chewing-wood shot, I thought I'd better try and post something this month. So here's my dog-sitting subject creating a work of art out of a bit of wood. I was a bit too close to capture the fact that because of her woolly head she can't see what the heck she is doing.

POST PROCESSING:
Shot in RAW, edited in Lightroom (curves, levels, sharpeness and vignette), finished in PS3 (dodge and burn, unsharp mask).

OTHER:
Despite my best intentions to get some more photos taken - I haven't. Despite my best-laid plans to add a blog to this site - I haven't. Lets try for November shall we?

OTHER:
I am suffering from an extreme shortage of material (both old and new) to post at the moment. I am trying to post every day, but I really need to get some more photos to make it possible.
