Boots

Boots adores Terry, in a very uncat like way, he's just nutty about Terry. Boots waits at the drive each night until Terry comes home from work. Terry unloads his truck, picks Boots up and hauls him around while he gets a beer and settles down. I picked this unusual pose because it perfectly expresses their relationship. Although Boots is drop dead gorgeous,( and Terry's not bad either) I just couldn't resist this moment my camera caught of them both. I mean, I did take some other more elegant shots, but this one caught my eye and I convinced Terry's wife Delores to go for it. Taking a great photo is just the beginning of the portrait process, and does not mean it's going to be easy, it just means the artist has a chance to get a running start. In choosing from amoung several dozen photos I usually take, I look for a photo expressing something of the particular animal in a particular moment that inspires me to make art.
