It's been a while since I've last posted, but since I really don't have much to say, I figured I would share a few old images that I had taken last year.

I remember the first day I met her. There's a bit of a story behind it - for about a year it would have been around this point, my mom and I made it a point to feed some local stray cats, primarily at our 7-11 because there was literally dozens of them and we had fallen in love with one of the kittens. Eventually our conquest more or less expanded to include some more cats.
These cats were of a "different" variety. Not as friendly, but there was one in particular that was always more than happy to just follow us around. (I have video if no one believes me.) One day, when I was going to feed the one cat, much to my surprise, a similar looking, but considerably smaller cat ran out from it's hiding spot and followed me around, begging for the food that I had. Since it was relentless, I gave it some food. I wasn't going to see her go hungry, but she wasn't the one I was looking for. When I later returned to the spot a few days later, the little one was no where in site, but the initial cat I was going to feed was there.
Soon afterwards, this little cat became a part of the daily feedings, and with her wild and untamed behavior (at the time) she was lovingly given the name Luna, short for Lunatic. Such a beautiful little cat and I miss hearing her little meows.
This picture is definitely one of my personal favorites. This image was initially part of my portfolio to be admitted into the art program of my school. While I never wound up submitting a portfolio, I still treasure this image and the fact I was able to achieve it within 5 shots. 5 different groups of people, but this one is the one that managed to be the most centered, as well as convey the most emotion. I can almost hear what he's saying in his head in this picture - "Oh, crap."
This is another personal favorite of mine. It was another unplanned shot. I thought the ride itself (without the cars) and the trees looked amazing with the sun behind it. In the single shot I took, without knowing it until I had gotten home, the cars from the roller coaster were also in the shot. I think it definitely adds character to the summer night when it was taken.
