The Visitor

I found a kitten in my yard who loved climbing trees and following me around. He looked like he was lost and needed a home. I made some phone calls and emailed pictures. Unfortunately, he only stayed long enough to pose beautifully and then go on his merry way.


"If the pull of the outside world is strong, there is also a pull towards the human. The cat may disappear on its own errands, but sooner or later, it returns once again for a little while, to greet us with its own type of love."

This is one of my Photoshop projects that I've had on my mind for many years. Finally, I did it with many, many, many cutouts. These are photographs taken in planes, backyards, on lakes and parking lots.
