CatCam

SpyCat 8

I bought a CatCam and a CatTrack from Mr Lee. Having tested them out on myself I am now flooding flickr with Isis's own photography. The slide show below shows the build, testing, and the first outing. If you don't fancy the soldering you can buy complete set-ups, I just built it myself to save money.

Tim Walker

Lily takes a trip

Walker is famed for his very British, Alice-in-Wonderland aesthetic. He has shot Erin O’Connor as a goose, Lily Cole as a peacock girl standing awkwardly on a mantelpiece in a dilapidated mansion, a redcoated Otis Ferry crammed into a tiny room with a pack of beagles.

The Guardian - Tim Walker's best shot



'A lot of people get confused when they see this image. They think it was done by computer, but we actually took pigment powder, mixed it with talc to get the right ice-cream pastel colours, and brushed it into the cats. ... they were so vain they loved it. ... There wasn't enough light to do the picture indoors - but, by a fluke, all the cats seemed to gravitate to this clematis at the bottom of some steps. I didn't arrange them. This is just what the cats did, and they all pretty much stayed where they were throughout. So it's actually quite a naturalistic portrait - apart from the colour.'

Pictures, an exhibition of Tim Walker photographs, is at the Design Museum, London SE1, until September 7. His book of the same name is available now.

Edit: More images from the Lily Takes a Trip shoot

They say that if someone dies in their house and isn't found for some time, their dog would stay with them and die itself, whilst the cat would just eat them. I always took this is a sign that cats are more intelligent than dogs. They still have survival skills that dogs have forgotten. But when Natali posted this picture I began to suspect that it's nothing to do with survival, they're just biding their time.

Isis
After over five years of this blogging malarkey, message board contributions that I dare not calculate the time spent on, creating pages dedicated to the strange combinations of things I find interesting (Cybergoth Gymnastics, Drinks with Chunks etc), and publishing all of my photography for all to see, I somehow still never quite felt I was doing everything I could for the internet. Until now! I has cat. Meet Isis:


Isis

Isis – Egyptian goddess of fertility, among other things (ironically she's just been neutered)
Bob Dylan - Isis lyrics

She's a rescue cat from Avon Dogs and Cats home. She was a stray. Is somewhere between 1 and 3 years old. And has a flea allergy (which I think is quite sensible for a cat). Expect to see her popping up here now and again, and maybe even in lolcat form if it's appropriate.

In homage to Isis and the internet's deep rooted history of cat based image content, why not pop over to Cat Town and catch up on the story so far. El Guapo is my hero.
