Hallowe’en is upon us, and the big question is: did I manage to achieve anything even faintly resembling a portrait of Louis Catorze?
Well, yes. Furthermore, what’s unique about this year’s Official Hallowe’en Portrait is that, this time, it’s two sets: one is a standalone piece and the other, a pair.
The single photo was taken completely by chance, when Catorze jumped up onto the window to check for evil entities (erm, squirrels and parakeets) lurking outside. The window, the wisteria and the autumn trees frame him beautifully:
The next set consists of two almost-identical pictures, but one makes Catorze the focal point, and the other focuses on the cat skeleton in the foreground. I am struggling to decide which is better, but I’m leaning towards the latter because Catorze looks more sinister when blurred. Sometimes the scariest thing of all is what you DON’T see.
I hope that your furry overlords will stay safe among the hordes of sugared-up children. In theory Catorze will be strictly limited to The Back but, on a night when we will be opening and closing the front door at least 8,972 times, I don’t fancy our chances of keeping him contained.
Joyeuse Fête à tous.
