This is my entry to My Thursday favourites 2.20 hosted by @marblely)
** My favourite Photo is in my mind.
It does no longer exist. It was a picture I made from a red, skinny stray cat in a garbage can. As I passed by I looked inside the can and the cat looked, disturbed, at me ready to attack if I dared to take its snacks. Instead, I grabbed my photo camera and made the best shot ever.
This photo was made by me with my Samsung
I don't know what happened to this photo. I made a poster out of it. The colour of the garbage fitted great to the cat's hair.
As I became ill I get rid of my collection of cameras. At times I feel sorry I did, at that time it was the only thing I could do.
Hundreds of photos I made from ferrets and skunks. I took a lot of time to make a good one and most of the time I had to trick them. For the shot of the cat, I needed nothing.
Lately, I started to take more photos.
A mobile phone is not the greatest camera around but it must be possible to make, under certain circumstances, a good photo.
Today I did not come to making photos at all. I was busy editing my #MarchMadness, the daily house tasks and my car.
No, this was not the best photo I made but I do like it and the Samsung A10 proved it can make a good photo too.
