Weekend Cat Blogging with Luna
This morning, I acquired the new Silverlake lens and film pack for the Hipstamatic iPhone app and tried it out on Luna. After a few attempts, I got this particularly nice portrait.
I like that even through the filter, Luna’s green eyes stand out.
She was also quite talkative, and I captured a short iPhone video where you can hear her sweet little voice:
The Carnival of the Cats will be up this Sunday at the Tuxedo Gang Hideout.
And the Friday Ark is at the modulator.

“”Manda the kitty decided to help me write a song today. Somebody needs to get this cat a mic!”
No cat in this second photo, but that must be one of the tiniest keyboards I have seen:

Weekend Cat Blogging and Photo Hunt: Monochrome
This week’s Photo Hunt theme is easy. We have tons of monochrome photos, from art photos to snapshots and everything in between. Here is a snapshot of Luna taken this morning with a black-and-white film preset on the iPhone Hipstamatic app:
This photo, with Luna walking among the chrome pillars around CatSynth HQ, could have easily worked for last week’s theme as well.
Looking back, I have definitely moved between periods of color and black-and-white in my photography. 2010 was probably the most monochromatic year for me. Here is a monochromatic close-up portrait of Luna I used for a Weekend Cat Blogging back in 2010.
We should do some more portraits like that again this year.
My video from last week’s performance came out quite dark, and ended up being a de-facto monochromatic piece with a purple tint. I encourage visitors to check it out in yesterday’s gig report.
The Saturday Photo Hunt is up. This week’s theme is Monochrome.
The Carnival of the Cats will be up this Sunday at Mind of Mog.
And the Friday Ark is at the modulator.
