One of the first photos when we got Baltsar, an odd-eyed, white Norwegian Forest cat. He’s the most gentle and docile cat you’ll ever meet. Unfortunately I had to leave him behind when I moved abroad. He was living with my sister and her family until she fell ill and needed someone else to take care of him. He now lives with a great family in Norway and I got to visit him a few months ago. He’s still a gentle giant. More recent photos will show up here on the blog as it progresses. Photo taken April 28th, 2004 using a Nikon D100.

Another Norwegian Forest cat kitten. Her name is Constanse and she was just over 18 weeks old when the photo was taken. This photo can also be found in my DeviantART gallery with a different post processing technique and a tighter crop. Photo taken March 6th, 2004 using a Nikon D100.

Whoops, I may have lied. Here’s in fact another cat show photo, however not of a judge this time. This was a siamese kitten walking around the cage begging for a little attention. Those deep, blue eyes always amaze me. Not to worry, the owner wasn’t far away and she/he got plenty of attention. Photo taken April 4th, 2004 using a Nikon D100.

And the last of the cat show photos for now. This is Raymond Sæthre judging two different cats. It’s quite obvious who’s the winner, right? Photo taken April 4th, 2004 using a Nikon D100.

Here we go again, with another cat photo. This time from a cat show in Norway. The concentrated gentleman is Peter Scholer, a Fife judge. Photo taken March 7th, 2004 using a Nikon D100.

Another photo from a cat show. This time the cat in the photo is Mizzie and the judge is Henry Hornell. I love the expression on his face. It almost seems he’s concentrating so hard he’s going cross-eyed. Photo taken March 7th, 2004 using a Nikon D100.

Guess what? Another cat photo. This time of Mizzie’s big yawn. She was also a Norwegian Forest cat. Sadly, she passed away some time ago. Photo taken March 14th, 2004 using a Nikon D100.

This is another Norwegian Forest cat and her name was Betty. Photo taken March 1st, 2004 using a Nikon D100.

Well, here goes. All the other photos here have been deleted or hidden. The last two, the butterfly and lemurs, will show up again some time later.
The “idea” behind this is that I’m now going through all my photos from the beginning when I started using a dSLR camera. That was in early 2004. So the images here will be in chronological order, from oldest to newest. It’s a way for me to re-discover my old photos and to share them.
This is a photo I took February 29th, 2004 using a Nikon D100. And yes, there will be quite a few cat photos here, as that’s how I got into cameras and photography.
This is Whiskey, a Norwegian Forest cat.
