A mildly surprised void appears!

Pax is happily watching the birds this morning.

Good morning, afternoon or evening to you! Happy #Fursday!

Today is my Gotcha Day. 4 years ago, I moved in with this lady, aka Mom. At first, I didn't understand what she was looking at in that big black box, so I had to check it out. Then, I quickly realized my part was to strike a pose, so I did. I think I did well since the very first day. And it has been 4 years already.

I forgot yesterday! Anyway, here is some extra kitties for #WhiskersWednesday. I also ran across the neighbourhood kitties, so I had a few fresh pictures too :3

This is how we roll. We used the RZ for the first time with studio flash. Mom has Elinchrom lights, and we used the Transmitter Pro on the Mamiya’s hot shoe. We tried the PC cable first, but that didn’t work. We had 2 frames fail, and both my buddy and I got 4 frames each. Mom will bring the film to the lab tomorrow, and we’ll see how this turned out.

Good morning, afternoon or evening to you. We all hope you have a wonderful #TongueOutTuesday!
