That pic of Julip is great! The foreshortened pose draws attention right to those big green eyes. As far as adoptions go, I wonder how many animals get adopted in a week....?
ReplyDeleteI totally agree; Julip's photograph is very capturing. I had to scroll back up and take another look at her picture. Also, the picture of Morgan is great too. It looks like she just woke up from a nap and is checking out what is going on; her eyes are mesmerizing.
ReplyDeleteYour final comment was touching. That was one of my fears as I walked through the cat rooms this week as well. Morgan and Strawberry were so sweet and playful. The picture of Pudge really exposes how handsome he is.
ReplyDeleteAll of these photos portray beautiful cats. However, I find the vignettes for most are too strong or bold which makes the viewer focus on the cats in an unnatural sense. Perhaps adding a less intense vignette would bring the viewers eyes towards the center image in a non-chalant way.
ReplyDeleteChristina, Can you check these names against the outgoing report? I know we talked about some that did not make it, but I am hoping for one or two happy stories. Know that your work does make a difference. Without these photos, many cats would not stand a chance. The photos draw people in the door. You are helping to save lives. Really. I very much enjoyed hearing you speak last night about your interests in working with humans as opposed to animals, and how what you have learned is that this animal overpopulation is a human problem. Expressing your thoughts on this in a blog post would be SO interesting!!
ReplyDeleteChris,
ReplyDeleteYour comments are very thoughtful. I was at the cat room one day when the animals were being pulled to be put down. I had to simply shut those workers with their cart out of my mind, not even looking at which cats were being taken out.
A worker on duty that day and the regular cat volunteer were quietly talking about it, sort of sequestering themselves at the far end of the room. It was such an emotional moment for them since they really knew these cats much better than I did. It just made me wonder if I could work there day in day out and how for many staff it's courageous to be able to do so.
