Forever

My youngest brother cuddling Daisy after a huge Christmas meal. Capturing moments like this are the reason I'll never stop taking photos.

Together

Our family cat, Daisy, is eighteen years old, very frail, deaf and incredibly affectionate. Her sister passed away a few years ago, but Daisy remains a huge part of the family. Here she is opening a present with my dad.

The Best Present

Our two-year old cat, Maisie, has been a big part of the #photoaday challenge and with good reason. She is a good poser and a beautiful model. We love her so much.

Here's a photo of her in 2015 compared to 2017:

Happy Christmas eve!

Maisie is looking after me as I am unwell. She's been sleeping at my feet, cuddling me. I couldn't ask for a sweeter little girl. Since she's turned two years old, she's become a lot more cuddly and affectionate; she's started sitting on laps if encouraged and will happily sleep close to me, letting me pet her. Cats are so good for your sense of wellbeing.

Birthday Cake

Taken at my parents' birthday celebration, Daisy is our family pet cat who is eighteen years-old and still sniffing out any opportunity to steal some food. She's a frail and deaf old lady, but she is very sweet and affectionate with a loud purr.

A Photo a Day #282: Flashback Sunday

Shelley with Kittens

I scanned some old photographs from my collection. This photo was taken before I was born, probably around 1982-1983. The cat in the photo is Shelley. She was the most sweet-natured tabby cat who lived to the age of 20. She was a mummy to 4 kitten of which 2 were given away and 2 died as young cats. 

The original colour tones are of an era and I wanted to bring out some of the rich purples that were in the original (taken by my dad). I've added some clarity and contrast to show off Shelley's beautiful markings. 

I thought editing some photos from the 80s and 90s would be a fun edition to the 'Photo a Day' project. Whilst these photos will not be originally my own work, they will be images that are significant to me and taken from my collection of album photographs. It'll be interesting to see what modern technology can do to photos that were taken before this technology existed. Watch this space for more 'Flashback Sunday' images.
