All cats are beautiful but Gato is my star

How is the white kittie doing?

[poilu]

impressive! cats are great subjects for b&w
post all 12 calendar pics when ready
all superb, my favs #2#3#5

[Carlsson]

Thanks Orio & Poilu,
Snowy is doing very well, his fur on his ears is growing as my wife treats him with sunblocker everyday, he hates it but she is always doing it before serving breakfast.
But it's still dangerous for him (the cancer can grow on the nose and eyes)

Gatos portrait shows his grand seigneur attitude, which makes it perfect (in my opinion)
My favourite is #2, it looks like from another world, as trifox promised one year ago, contax cam + contax lens = heaven (thanks my friend!)

have you tried zinc (Thick, white sunblock in oz,cricketers use it)I put it on my cats ears nose....worked well.

Great portaits ! cats in b&w are a very good subject. 5th is my fav despite i like them all. When you see so many "dull" cats portraits on calendars, while its so easy to switch to b&w and have another point of view. well .. meh ^.^

[Juko]

I like, great cats portais, as hexi says cats in b&w fits very well.

[Attila]

Beautiful cats ! I wish to see them in color look their beautiful eyes.

[Carlsson]

Thanks friends!
Of course I will post the finished calendarium.
Thank you Mo-Fo, that's an interesting idea, do you have a name from the manufacturer? I really would like to try it.

Exactly Hexi, I wanted to create a human-like pose, look, not only the "how cute" portrait. And I'm nearly happy with it,
#1, Gato the grand seigneur, #2 Tweek, the hunter and craziest cat.
#3 Balou, he's the womanizer, #4 Sanshy, shes a diva. #5, Snowy, our little joker, always playing tricks, biting other peoples feet and bottom . And #5, Gerry, most of the time he's dreaming.

Yes Attila, there will be some color shots soon, their eyes are beautiful .
And my negative slide restauration tutorial is also not forgotten, I'll try to combine them ... but the time...

Balou is such a poser. I like the Sanshy pic best.

[Orio]

When I visit there, hopefully next summer if I am lucky, I hope I meet your cats Especially Gato

I love the Ortho25

Hi
I tried to find a brand name for you for the Zinc cream and the only brand the chemist had was a Zinke "sun and sea" made in Australia.It is like a white thick paste which reflects the sun better than normal sunscreen.Zinc Oxide or something to that effect.
Living in a small country town has it's drawbacks when shopping for anything let alone camera film etc.I found out today I can not get ASA100 film have to wait to go to the big town.sorry for my little whinge
