Pink is only a cat after all! He found one of my cat toys and couldn't resist the little blue bird! He has probably played more with it than my cats have! This shot was super annoying to set up... the toy makes bird sounds every time you touch it!!
Ok, I know this blog may seem a little weird, but it was inspired by the Flickr group One Object 365 Days. In this group you take a picture of the same object for an entire year! I chose the Pink Panther because:
1. I LOVE the Pink Panther and own the entire series on DVD 2. I love cats, and the Pink Panther is nothing but a small big cat! 3. He is bendable so I can pose him and give some emotions to my shots.
I am fairly new to photography and I thought this challenge would be a great way for me to improve my skills by making myself take a picture every day! This blog started on August 27, 2009, but I had already been uploading this series to Flickr since May so I post dated my entries to match the dates of my photos. Also, unfortunately I kind of neglected Pink here during the month of July because I got really busy. I am still extremely busy with two jobs, but I am more determined to finish my project!! So, the posting of this blog is a little strange. I will be filling in the gaps of the photoless days and adding all of what I have right away. I wanted to make this a blog because I realized I was writing more and more each photo. Sometimes what happened to me during the day inspired what little situation I put Pink in so I added some thoughts on that. I will be going back and filling in a little info in my past shots because my original project didn't have blog intentions.
4/7/09 Marks the start of my new life! On this day I bought my Nikon D40 and changed my life forever! What started out as just a hobby has opened up my mind to so many career possibilities in which I would be truly happy! I have always had an interest in photography, but I never quite realized it. Before my DSLR I took my Point and Shoot to the Chicago Botanic Gardens and actually came away with some great shots. I just wanted more creative control. I still have so much to learn, but I am eager since I have discovered my true passion! Before this, I felt like I went through life adopting everyone else's passion... but photography is personally MY passion.
I do photograph other things than just Pink here haha. You can check out my photostream at www.flickr.com/photos/kristinrearl
