As the year draws to a close, I’m going to move more to a picture a week instead of a picture a day… updating (in theory) on Fridays. I’ve proven to myself that I can do a picture a day, it just takes a lot of time… plus this way will better let me decide on my favorite shots from the year at the end of the year.

So… here is my single favorite shot from 2007… everyone have a Happy New Year, be safe, and have a great 2008!

I planned this for my folks since last Spring… there is a big cat rescue in McKinney that is extremely photographer friendly, so I rented a 1.4x teleconverter (which actually wasn’t needed), and visited in June… spending the morning with Sugar, Sheba, Pookie, and Rocky. After much debate, and a little help from my fellow photographers at TPF making a final choice, I had this one printed on a 20×30 stretched canvas… it came out beautifully and I believe it was actually a surprise to my folks.

Some of the other images from the visit to Pug Mark Park are here.

And, on a side note.. the suprise to my son was absolute. He wanted a laptop, but we had him convinced that it was going to be a graduation gift, not a Christmas gift. But with some coordination from other family members as well, we pooled money and gave him a gift from everyone…. he never let it go yesterday.
