Some photographs are created by carefully planning, arranging, lighting, and then trying to get the cat to actually do something interesting. And then some are sheer luck, being in the right place at the exact right time.
We had just brought Cleopatra home from the Humane Society. So I had plopped her on my bed to take some homecoming photos. Nothing special, just some snapshots to remember the moment.
Suddenly she froze, stared across the room, jumped off the bed and ran. She had seen herself in our full length mirror! I knew what was going to happen, so I crouched down and hoped. It was all of 5 seconds. She’s smart, she realized right away that it was her reflection. But in those 5 seconds, I managed to catch the perfect moment of excitement, curiosity, and a little bit of nervousness. It’s the fact that she put the paw up on the mirror that puts this over the top. It’s such a special story.
