Some thoughts about cats and dogs

I need a better camera. I feel like my images are so low quality compared to the professional grade look of some of the ones posted by members here. On the other hand, it might be a while before I spring for a new camera, so maybe I'll just do the best with what I have. I want to get shots of each of my bottles with a kitty or two in the frame.

I say just keep working with the equipment you've got. Focus more on the composition and the overall effect without expecting more from your equipment. I have some photos that I took with my old phone, and while the image is kind of grainy, I managed to capture particularly captivating scenes, and so those photos are precious to me even if not "professional grade".

For us amateurs, we can learn a lot and still take some artful pictures with limited equipment.
Kind of like learning to ski on a particular set of skiis. Once you've mastered them, then it probably is time to move up to the higher performance gear..

The perfume pictures that I have taken were by cell phone and lately a Sony Cyber - shot digital camera. I am happy with them.

My first year here, I had no camera, so the quality of my images is quite poor, since they were all taken with the eye of my netbook. I've decided to leave them up anyway, since they record my first year here and The Emperor's participation, too!

Here you got some nice shots

But it's about the cats

I love it Fran Fran, thanks.

Don't be surprised if your site crashes from all the hits, Fran.

as long as I can still receive my mails I don't care

Some of you know that I went on my Home and Garden Pilgrimage today, it was very nice.
I stopped to say hello to someone passing me that I recognized. He recognized me too, he says that I am the one that his dog barks at. I asked him how does he know. He told me that his dog is prejudiced and that he knows that white people live on one side of the road and black people live on the other side. He says his dog doesn't bark at the other guy.
I asked him if he was pulling my leg, he said no. The lady he was with told him that was not a nice thing to say but he didn't care.
He didn't hurt my feelings because I noticed that he always gets close to me with his dog when I'm in the area, purposely, and I always have to detour.

Is it even possible to train a dog to be prejudiced???

What the eff?! I would've punched his lights out!!

I am totally at loss for words here. All I can say is I am sorry such a fool was in your presence today. I hope little Dig did not hear any of the conversation.

Thank you and no Little Dig was nowhere around.
He didn't bother me really lol, I often say, if you don't like the way I look take it up with the person who made me!

Unfortunately, yes. Some people train dogs to react to specific races. In the "Old South" (or any other state with a heavy KKK membership), these were called "White Dogs". Shamefully, some dogs are still clandestinely trained to do this, from alerting presence, to tracking/hunting, to out-and-out attack. There are a few books, academic papers, and films about it.

Pepper spray, yes! Or a good, stout walking stick.

Did I mention that I had to go to his house two or three days ago? He nor his dog were anywhere around, maybe they were out taking a walk looking for people scare like its Halloween or something.
Thanks Wichapi for the crash course in history.

Be careful. This guy spells trouble.

On the other hand, I've lived in the Old South my entire life and this is the first I've ever heard of this. So, as with a lot of things, your mileage will vary.
