forgot one....


Doesn't this make you hungry?  

Oh, and on for the record, Christina is pretty positive that there 27 cats in the colony she maintains/feeds.  I saw about 15 when I was there. Crazy!!!








I found this woman at the "Furry Formal" I shot a few weeks ago. Her name is Christina McCullen. She volunteers at Columbia Second Chance and is also a member of SNAP which helps, catch, nuture and release alley cats back into their colonies. By feeding, and nuetering the cats, she is able to maintain the cat colony, rather than let it grow. Her and husband stumbled across this cat colony when they went out to diner at a Columbia fast food chain in October 2006. Christina and her husband usually feed the cats twice a day. I am going to continue shooting her. I will be taking pictures the next time she makes another cat home, recieves more donations and hopefully pictures of her at home. The McCullens also fosters animals from Second Chance and have around 6 pets of their own. These people are some very dedicated animal lovers who are trying to make a difference in animals lives.

five points of view/pretest







Jenny Dixon is an assistant Pilates instructor at the MU Rec Center. Prior to attending grad school at MU, Jenny taught Pilates for two years when she was getting her undergraduate degree at Kansas State University. I shot to prepare for the five points of view assignment. I think she has a wonderful personality on the microphone. I would like to follow her around withmy camera, but ethically I don't believe it is right because I work with her. However, it was nice to practice shooting and thinking of different angles. I'd call this more of a lesson, than a success. I'm not fond the fact that you only see sides of her face. I orginally was going out to Fulton School of Deaf to shot Gary Bonsall during his work day but the bad weather ruled that out. I will be shooting Gary on Tuesday from 8 am until 4 p.m. when his work day concludes.
