If only you were this good looking

Vazra is such a photogenic cat.  Sometimes I think he knows full well how attractive he is, what with the lion’s mane and all that plush, fine, black-as-midnight hair.  Oh, and the large, greedy, voracious eyes that seem to consume everything in sight.

Yes, he knows he’s better looking than the clumsy ape who feeds him.  For that matter, he knows he’s better looking than all the clumsy apes stumbling around this planet.

Special effects

I kept snapping photos of Vazra as he lay on the floor.  Because his hair is so long, he usually looks like a fluffy mop with eyes.  But these photos kept showing a weird unfocused area in front and beneath him.  It was as though he was resting atop a cushion of hot air.

I couldn’t for the life of me determine what was causing this intriguing special effect in the pictures.  At least until I looked at the lens.

Kazon had been “helping” me take pictures a little earlier.  At some point, he took a close look at the front of the camera.  I hadn’t realized it when it happened, but apparently he’d touched his nose to the lens and left me with a nice wet smudge covering the bottom half of it.

Do you think I could market this as a new technology to special effects companies?  I bet it costs less than CGI.
