Early in 2009, I decided to capture an image every calendar day for an entire year. 365 days later, I have more gray hair, have aged a decade and alienated loved ones, but I did it and, most importantly, I didn’t miss a single day. Comments and criticisms are welcomed, both on composition and technique, and on content. Thanks for looking.

Cooper in a Bag - Part II (Day 68)

Hi, I am Pete’s Nikon. I am sick and tired of my owner coming home each night with his crappy, little Canon point-and-shot, all giddy about his shot of the day, while I sit collecting dust. So I am taking a stand.

This is my first appearance in this gallery. I decided to take a picture of one of the house cats, Cooper (a Russian Blue), who likes to spend his time sitting in bags. Please note the pleasant bokeh, the result of a beautiful 70-200 2.8 attached to my front end - let's see the P&S do this! Plan on seeing me periodically going forward. Oh, and if you would like to see the original Cooper in a Bag (shot by my little brother, a Sony a100, a while back), click <a href="http://www.nawset.com/gallery/6148241_gewf2#437478003_MZwg8">here</a>.

Footnote: In answer to the question of whether the eye color has been enhanced ... no, this is one of the trademarks of a Russian Blue.
