Description
NOW AVAILABLE AS A GREETING CARD!! 
(Cropped slightly to fit dA's new greeting card program)
EDIT (Nov 08) - This is now a LOL cat! LOLZ. Thanks to ICanHazCheezBurger for adding the proper credit and linking here. (See it at: [link] )
Shot in April 2005
About the model: This is my brand new (as in, been home for about 1 hour when I took this photo) kitten, who's name is Unique Nudes, but pronounced with a horrible French accent as done by a bad American actor. Thusly, his name is actually pronounced "Yooou-Knee-Kwah New-des," or 'Uni' for short. Kind of an inside joke between my models and I, but it makes for a cute name nonetheless.
About the image: I *love* the DOF (depth of field) on this one. I tried to get an image of Uni looking at the camera, but he just wanted to sleep. I gave up and got this awesomely adorable pic. Also, I may offer it for a print or X-mas card around December. This was shot with my Canon Pro1 using only the lights for illumination (no flash; no hotlights) with a tripod for the semi-long exposure. I hope you guys enjoy this sickeningly sweet departure from my regular stuff, which should resume next week.
Model: "Uni"

This is too adorable!! My cats used to do the same thing and I wondered if it would hurt them, but I guess not because they loved it. Made me leave my lights up for two extra months. lol

That's so evocative of Christmas time. It brings it all to life somehow. Bet he was lovely and cosy in the middle of that, with the warmth from the bulbs all around him.

AWWWWW.
lil' pointless story- I recently moved to the south after spending my whole life in the north and it just doesnt feel like xmas without the snow. So as a pick up I did a search for some pictures to make it feel a bit more like christmas- after searching for over an hour I gave up- well this is IT. This is the happiest most feel good xmas shot ever. i love it.

That would make a fantastic photo for a holiday card. The only words that can really describe it.......... Too cute. (I'm sure you'll hear that lots more later on.) Excellent work.
