This Caturday’s selection of images are brought to you by my new/old M.Zuiko 12mm/2 prime lens; new because I only recently purchased it, old because it was first announced back in late 2010. This is the lens I mentioned a few posts back that I’d been waiting to purchase when it was first released 14 years ago, but couldn’t due to the cost at the time and my lack of budget. It took 14 years, but the price finally dropped down to the point I could afford it. And now I’m learning to use it, not for landscapes, but for environmental photography where I can incorporate more of a subject’s immediate background and environment.

The first image shows little Joan Jett on “her” dog bed, even though it was purchased for Ruby the Lab. When Joan is in “her” bed, no one else around the house tries to usurp her place, even Ruby. Joan has that “this is mine” look on her face.

In the evening all the cats like to congregate on the kitchen table for their evening Temptations. Luke rests in his turkey position, as is his right as the oldest and the alpha, while little Nicholas comes over to look at the camera and lens. I like the accidental combination of the oldest and the youngest cats in the photo.

I’m trying to mix up my story telling a bit. Hopefully this new lens will help with that. And I suppose I need to actually take it out and try out its landscape chops on, well, some landscapes here in Florida.
