Thanks for the link. I've had my fill of contests. I felt that it was restricting my creativity by forcing me to photograph what the judges liked instead of what I liked. This is a picture of a homeless man that lives close to where I live. It is one of my favorite photographs, yet it wouldn't get a 2nd look on a site that values rainbows over everyday life. I shoot pictures of my kitten because she is like family now, not because she is cute.

i have a hiding place
...but, you'd photograph me just cause i'm 'cute' right?! right!!?!


i get you, photographing everyday people, and everyday things, realities, all that,
is much more intriguing.

but, i will always photograph animals as well, because their 'charm'
is only matched by infants, and i know no children.

I liked your picture of the homeless man. I really did. It isn't always the "beautiful" people who make the best picture...that one tells a whole story in the sadness in his face.

Do you have her registration papers from TICA? If you do, there is a little box on the right hand side that has breeder or show..... if either or are checked, Tiki is one of them! Also, if you go to tica.org there is a show standard for Bengals.... or bengalcat.com should have it. I have a copy, as well. YOu said your breeder was having 2nd thoughts, then most likely she is either show or breed quality or both!! I know that when I bought Tigger, the breeder told me I was getting a really good deal for her (I paid $500.00 for her). As a matter of fact, I emailed her recently, and I had a pick between Tigger and her sister. Which ever one I picked, the other was going to be either breeding or show quality.
