My girl was gone today and my cat, Merv, and I were fishin' around in our brains for something to do. The pool pawty never happened, a guy can only do so much lounging, and Merv fancies himself quite a photographer (he's a big fan of the photographic genius of Annie Leibowitz). So... he rummaged around until he found our girl's camera, and did a photo shoot with me. I think his photos have a child-like quality to them - sophisticated without being pretentious.
At one point he put on some techno music and started giving me instructions... you know, saying things like, "The camera loves you, man!" and "Work with me. Work with me!" and "Come on, Stanley. Make l-o-v-e to the camera." I decided to just go with it.
Eventually he captured the holy grail... the motherload of all photographs. He captured a moment of time during one of my primal playing fits. Look at the crazed expression in my eye, and how the light plays off of my snout. It's undeniable. He's a master at his craft. I was the clay and he was the potter. Never have I had a more artistically fulfilling experience.
Merv's masterpiece of the dayMerv can take my photo anytime. There may even be a government post for him in the GooberStan Ministry of Culture. I'll have to consult with the Cultural Minster of course, but I think we may have a new official photographer.

Amazing! Merv should be in the MOMA!
Wow, Merv is incredible! I love how he captured the essence of Stan...playful, loving and wise all at the same time.
Oh, and he captured your hotness, too, but that's pretty hard to hide.
Techno? Oohhh...no...next time tell Merv to put on Mom's playlist for you. But they are wonderful pictures :)

Merv takes some great photos! Maybe I need a cat. Love, Martha

Stanley, you are such a handsome pup!
Merv is amazing! He really captured your inner beast!
Woofs,

ho-ly-dog-crap those photos are so freakin' artsy and cool. merv is obviously on the brink of becoming a very FAMOUS photog, and then you won't be able to afford those photo shoots anymore. he certainly brought out all the best in you. you look incredibly glam. love the intense close-ups and the not-sure-who-the-subject-is ones the bestest. enjoy them while you can!
oh boy this was funny, I never knew cats were good at anything!
Hey, Merv is a good pawtographer! I like the Holly Grail picture, very funny... Hehehe! And nice eyeballs.
Love licks,
Solid Gold Dancer
Hey Stanny...
I think Merv just got added to my list of approved cats. It's a small list (now 3), so Merv should be honored. I didn't realize he was such a big guy...he does very good work too. I especially love how he captured your 'crazy eyes' oh and your handsomeness...too...***blush***
Lots of Loving Licks, your Ruby
After seeing your pics, Were thinkin' of firing our current photographer and hiring Merv for a photo shoot!
I really like the second picture because it gives a feeling of atmosphere. My mom really likes Merv because he's a round head and my mom really likes round-headed cats. Whatever.
Ike
Cool! Merv is a photographer! Love your blue WUBBA! Mine is red and I love him!
Your Friend,
Putter ...:)
