Cat Daddy’s friend Mike – one of the boys from the notorious Friday night Zoom call – has given us some home-grown pumpkins. Some are tiny ghost pumpkins that fit into the palm of my hand. The the others are the familiar, traditional orange ones, and so ridiculously heavy that I can’t lift them.
If I am to achieve the Herculean feat that is a faintly passable Official Hallowe’en Portrait for Louis Catorze, I am going to have to do one of the following:
⁃ Rely on him to come to wherever the big pumpkins may be, rather than carrying them to him when he happens to be in an appropriate place/pose.
⁃ Use the small ones (taking them to him), which will make the little sod look comically gigantic.
One of those is far more likely to yield results than the other. Although I use the word “results” somewhat loosely.
For the moment, the big pumpkins are sitting on the outdoor sofa until I figure out how on earth I can not only get Catorze to them, but make him pose beautifully. I’m going to need a little luck, and a LOT of time.

At least you still have a couple of weeks to get the perfect shot. 🙂

I was the right way round. It was Catorze who turned his arse to the camera!

Well, of course he did! Even with my cats I deleted thousands of butt shots.

Yeah, but with Catorze, it’s bound to be a complete car crash. 😬

Don’t forget Louis is a king, which means you’re a royal photographer.
And a royal photographer is supposed to take great pictures. Therefore, you aren’t allowed to underestimate yourself, are you?

I am not the royal photographer. I’m not worthy of that role. I’m more like the annoying tabloid paparazzi who won’t go away.

Exactly. They treat them as if they are surrounded by a repeller field.
