p.1 #1 · #275 Cat Collection

Well here is my second attempt in as many weeks the first I wasn't able to upload the image in time.

These were gifts to my Mother for Christmas one each year.

She passed away in 2002 of cancer and I haven't gotten around to gettign rid of them yet so I used them for the subject of this week's assignment.

Welcome Michael, very nice image!

You do need to resize it though, board rules state that an image must be 640pixels on the longest side.

Good luck,
Jason

Hi Michael,

You have very nice lighting in this shot and the collection is quite interesting. Not a typical object of obsession. Good luck this week.

This is a lovely shot. It is well composed, and the light blue background compliments it perfectly. I am very sorry for your loss.
I tried and failed (the chair, wall, etc were all the wrong colors to work well) to create a shot this week that showed my moms's obsession- books. Even though I didn't submit the shot, setting it up was a very cathartic process for me - hope that you found some comfort too. -amy

Steve, I just use one line of the cat that she collected, the Elisabeth Arden, She had a curior cabinet full of cats, but I had no way to effectivally shoot it. But, we all have things we collect and for some it becomes an obsession.

Amy, Thank you for your comments and I am sorry for your loss, and yes it did whic was really needed thsitime of the year.

BTW all these were lite with two 16x16 softboxes from eBay and a Quantaray QBT-9500A w?Stofen modifier. The Soft boxes cost me less than $50 for both and that inculded 2 HotShue/Umbrella adapter and shipping. I use two Vivitar 285s to plight the softboxes with the head in the wide mode, no WA filter at 1?8 or 1/16 power. These softboxes were a well investment as to quaility and potential.

The soft colored background adds to the cherished memories that these were your mom's. I'm sorry for your loss. I hope many of her items will bring back happy thoughts as you admire them in the future. Thanks for explaining your set up of lighting. Beautiful image! Thanks for posting.
