I have well over 100 disc of saved stuff--actually I'd guess its well over 500 discs of saved stuff. Today, I was sort of tired of posting hipstamatic pictures here on this blog and wanted to post something new. Most of my newest work is for clients that we haven't discussed sharing yet so those are off limits... I decided it would be fun to blindly reach into the pox and put out a disc and find one image to share. I admit I had to pick the third disc because I picked out a genealogy disc from my mom that I can't open on my machine and then picked out a disc that had music archived, but the third disc had a bunch of stuff from years ago on it. This picture I took while working at the newspaper. It was from an assignment that I was sent to when a call came over the scanner that this neighborhood had a fe calls to the animal control officer about a cat stuck in the sewer. When I showed up the manhole cover was off and the officer was climbing out. When he saw me I think he had this look on his face that was something along the lines of 'oh crap--I was going to give up but I can't now because the newspaper guy is here!' After several attempts of coaxing this tired and hungry kitten had failed he had this idea of snagging him with a golf ball retriever and it worked. I then followed this very tired little kitten back to the Humane Society to photograph it getting cleaned up, inspected and fed. This picture was part of a photo story and slideshow we did on the whole thing. It was one of those times I felt odd that I'd cover something like this in the first place, but proud that I was able to sorta hang out a witness the whole thing unfold. In the process tell the story of the life around us and the people that do things that really go unnoticed, but really are important. Its a cool thing being able to take pictures of the life around me! Photograph by Richard Sayer from 2006. I'm not sure where this kitty ended up, but it was adopted!
