1st Place "Pet Photographer" by jnconradie

Centurion, South Africa

credits: Rudi and Sir Smokey Stardust

The idea was that Rudi would pose with an old "box camera"... but then Smokey wandered onto the scene for a celebrity appearance.

Don't you just love how things turn out sometimes :) Great job with everything presented.
Sir Smokey looks very poised and comfortable in front of the camera. Nice touch with Rudi's attire , the hat is like a spice added to main the ingredients.

Thanks all. Sir Smokey (Smokey to his closest friends) is the alpha cat in our household and already an established photo model. Why, he's even won a challenge:http://www.pbase.com/cslr_challenge/image/118389940 :-) Kind regards Nico

If you feel this one should rather not be in Eligible, please feel free to say so. Rudi does have a camera, but I do not think he would describe himself as photographer. :-) Regards Nico
