My Anniversary Celebration! A Maine Cat Photographer

I like to photograph Everything.
Let me make that clear.
Everything!

But, this blog post is all about the CATS!
This month marks 5 YEARS I have been photographing the cats at the Animal Refuge League.

I have photographed 1000 cats per year.
This month marks 5000 cats.
That's a pretty impressive number don't you think?

So, I wanted to throw myself a party!
But, what kind of party does one throw for oneself to celebrate the photographing of my five thousandth cat?
One thing is for sure, it must include cake!

Soooooooooo, help me out! Let's celebrate. Any cool ideas out there? I'm listening!

Until then, I invite you to share a photo of your cat over on my facebook page.
It's a business page, so you don't need to be "on" facebook to visit!
I'm going to start a post and I want you to share your cat photos in the comments!

Here are a few photos of current cats available for adoption at the ARL. Check them out! Then come visit me on my Minor Moments Photography Facebook page!

Joanne the Patient Maine Photographer

pa·tience

ˈpāSHəns/

noun

1.

the capacity to accept or tolerate delay, trouble, or suffering without getting angry or upset.

"you can find bargains if you have the patience to sift through the dross"

synonyms: forbearance, tolerance, restraint, self-restraint, stoicism; More

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 :)

Bring it on!

Here is just a small selection of the beautiful cats waiting for someone to fall in love with them.
