Words: Charcoal is the most awesome, most snuggly cat on the planet. Not only does he follow me around all day and pine at the door when I'm gone, but he's perfectly willing to take on the role of teddy bear if I'll let him.
In this instance, I was reading before bed and he burrowed his way in between my arms, curled up, and laid his big 'ole loudly purring head on my stomach. He stayed that way even after I feel asleep, happy to be a teddy bear for one night instead of banished to the bottom of the bed, as is usual.
Here's what you can take from this:
- Capturing cute unexpected moments like this one is always possible if you lug your camera phone around with you everywhere. I was able to take a photo of my snuggling cat without moving to disturb him because my phone was within reach on my nightstand.
- If you can't get a good camera angle, try holding your camera away from you and taking the shot blindly. If you practice at this, you'll get really good at taking a photo even when you aren't looking through the lens. I usually have to try about five times before I get a good shot this way, but my husband Jake gets it perfect on the first try almost every time.
- If you don't know where to start when writing based on a picture, try starting with your general feelings about the subject of the photo, then narrow down to the specific instance the photo was taken.
This is my documentation from the Daily Doc | Nov 2012 handout. It has 30 prompts to use if you get stuck documenting. I'm tackling all of these this month AND doing unplanned daily documentation. I printed out the prompts (pages 2-4 of the handout) and I'm highlighting them to cross them off as I go. I'm not doing them in order; I'm using them as they make sense for me.
