I recently read a post on Cat Chat with Caren and Cody where she posted old photos of Cody as a kitten and apologized for the quality. It reminded me that most of the photos I took of my pets back in the days when I used film cameras were not that good. I was capable of good photography back then but pet photos were usually taken spur of the moment in bad lighting without much effort put into quality.
I did manage to find a group of photos taken January 20, 2010 that are not too bad. We were still living in South Carolina at the time and a coworker sold me his Canon SLR that he bought for school but never used after his class was over. I bought a roll of film to test it out and then sold it on Ebay. Here are some of the test photos.
I know this is not my typical one-photo Friday post but I thought you might enjoy a glimpse into the past. It should be noted that we had two other cats, Sneakers and Princess. Sneakers went to live with my stepson, Nick, in 2007. He also took Princess when we moved to Myrtle Beach in 2009. Princess came back to us in 2010 but probably after these photos were taken.
Bad Cat Chris 
Good photos!

Thanks. 🙂
that’s sweet… but also a little sad to know they are no longer there…
Yes it is. Chris is the only one left.
Those were fun to see!
Thanks
Those are some wonderful photos! We wish we had more photos of our Angel Family but when dad got Die-vorced she took a big box of his photos. Yeah that happens
That’s too bad. I always ordered two prints of everything back then and gave the ex the extras.
Those are some pretty good photos! Thanks for sharing.
They are good memories.
Great photos of your kitties past and present. Abbey was very pretty.
I always like seeing the cats that came before.
They are all great memories.

Thanks so much, Caren
These are darn good photos. 🙂
Thank you.
Those are great fotos. Nuffin’ like the really bad fotos we have with 35mm cameras. The 110’s were a little better, but nuffin’ like digital. But we must say, all our camera’s have always been cheap. We;ve never had anythin’ more than a point and shoot. MOL Big hugs

I like the pictures. Looking at the first one – I did not realize Chris had such a long tail. He must have excellent balance.
Before he got fat, he was able to do amazing things.
