Arky I

For the MFPIAC challenge.

My interest in taking photos happened only a few months ago when I discovered that my camera phone took rather good photos.

Arky, my 11 year old black cat, became the main subject of my early efforts and it was an attempt to branch out from this that lead me to 365. I now take pictures of many different things and am constantly on the look out for a "good shot".

But Arky remains one of my favourite subjects.

The camera likes Arky but the feeling is definitely not mutual: Most of my attempts to create a cat portrait have only caught a black furry blur or the tip of his tail as he evades publicity.

But he doesn't always escape in time.

These are some of my favourite black and white pictures of a very sweet-natured and affectionate cat.

Very nice shots of a beautiful kitty. The B&W does work very well for Arky, those eyes are stunning.

Arky seems to be a very photogenic even if he isn't very keen! I love his shiny black coat and such a sweet face.

This works so well in black and white, and the collage is great. (And now I know what MFPIAC is - wasn't paying attention to this before!)

Arky sure doesn't want to make eye contact with the camera! I especially love the right side ones
