In the past 8 days I have photographed over 50 cats that are available for adoption at the Animal Refuge League of Greater Portland.

Because there are cats, cats and more CATS available, I was asked to come in an additional day to take photos. I agreed, but asked to have a sidekick to help me so I could get in and out quickly. Having someone to help me allows me to hold my camera with two hands and let someone else be responsible for trying to get the kitty's attention and also ensure that the cat doesn't escape while I'm trying to capture that perfect photo for the website. The perfect photo that will help someone fall in love and connect with an animal waiting for a home.

Patience was the word described by my sidekick, for the job we were doing.

Patience

...and yes...more patience.

I do not believe that word is currently in my resume.

I do believe I will add it.

Patience. It is what I do. It is what I have. It is a virtue :)
