I expect your cat has excellent taste.

Thank you.

I think of photography as the opposite of painting. When you paint you carefully add content to the image until it shows exactly what you want, and no more.

With photography, the photographer tries to exclude content from the image and through various tricks attempts to focus the viewer on the content the photographer wants them to look at.
