A #Flickr friend of mine heard my cries of frustration and put me onto a means of "training" my followers by eliminating those who weren't commenting and rewarding those who did. My firewall...
...balked at installing the program that I needed to review my 1400 followers behavior, but I managed to find a way to install it nonetheless. When I am done, I will have less than 75 contacts which is a manageable level. If I...
...delete someone who reactivates themself later, I can add them back as they comment or fave my photos. The system is manageable and easy to monitor. All I will need to do is check who faves and comments each day and run the program once a month.

Keeping track of any social media is maddening. I've been run into a corner on my other account because I don't have enough followers to add more people to follow. Begging people to follow me has worked less well than...
...using light line and tackle to catch the Loch Ness Monster. No one pities me. I have yet to develop a technique to attract more followers that doesn't involve the precarious practice of buying them. So I continue to rely on the kindness of strangers.

I'm getting caught up with a series of ongoing experiments involving the cats and the infamous #RedDot of the #LaserPointer. There'll be a stop action photo featuring Aphrodite tomorrow. I noticed...
...that my recent cat photos all featured either Tallahassee or Boadicea. Aphrodite is extremely energetic in her pursuit of the compressed light, so I set up a camera near the door and caused her to chase the dot...
...up the door, her body bent like a macaroni as she reached for the unreachable. The best picture will appear tomorrow. In the meantime, enjoy the video.

Lately I have been struggling to get useful photos through a combination of multiple images plus cropping. I had an instructor who believed that you should always strive to get the shot right inside the frame that you have and never crop...
...but as I entered the real world of photography, I learned that many professional photographers left plenty of space between the subject and the margins. They then cropped to the image that they had always wanted. Today's picture of Aphrodite...
...demanded cropping: otherwise I would have splashed the eye of my audience with lots of useless clutter from my house. We don't keep a clean house suitable for taking portraits at a moment's whim. I must confess that we still have...

I must say that the reason why I like cats is that they don't blame every quarrel in our relationship on my #mentalillness or at least I don't spend time worrying that they do. When I deal with people -- especially those who know -- this fear...
...dominates my thoughts. I know many people think I am not very smart. My wife debates the truth of this, but I feel better if I assume that other people are smarter even if the evidence is that they are not. The cats don't care of rather I can't...
...see evidence that they do. People give themselves away all the time. You can see it in subtle twitches of their face. They aren't that good at hiding their feelings. I had to learn to read faces. I had to know how to distinguish the sociopath from the narcissist....

Two subjects tend to occupy my photo life lately: #selfies and #cats. The reason for this is simple: the models are readily available and I am not shy about approaching them. The cats have a deep seated fear of the camera because of the flash...
...so I have to be clever about capturing them. One of my cameras has a flash free night setting. The cats can't tell the difference, so my best schemes are to take multiple shots or use a timer. There is no flash when I use the timer so they don't cringe.
