Goodbye, you little weird-ass rat. You were one of the dumbest rats I've ever had, and I mean that in the MOST loving, most kindest of ways. You were one of my favorites, BECAUSE you didn't really "know how to rat," not in spite of it. You had markings on your face that looked like mickey mouse — Chris always said, "You're here because you're cute." You were sweet, one of the sweetest I've ever had. And so, so soft. I hope your passing was peaceful... go run free at the bridge, little one.

You were born to me, Cassidy

Cassidy took a rapid turn for the worse this evening. Chris said she had refused to eat or drink, and was lugging herself in circles, not using her hind legs. Her breathing became rapid and she just..curled up and stopped moving. She passed on about an hour ago.

I am very sad but it was clear her life was no longer enjoyable for her. Her life was never easy for a rat to begin with, so I am sad but also relieved for her.. she was never going to be a healthy rat and it was her time.

We did the best we could for you...see you at the bridge, Cass.

CAKE.

I will NOT go to the kitchen before I leave and shove (what happens to be my FAVORITE kind of) cake in my face.

I will NOT go eat the cake.

I will avoid the cake.

I won't even GO to the kitchen.

SOMEONE TELL ME NOT TO GO EAT THE CAKE.

(I already had cake yesterday, Cake does NOT need to be a daily occurrence tyvm.)



annnnnnd I have a feeling I'm going to have cake.

HEY PHOTO PEEPS!

This is a new community created by cp and is intended for photographers who wish to share their photography as an artform, from beginners to professionals. It will be a place where you can share your photos and receive honest feedback. The idea is to try to get into the mind of the photographer, not just share "pics" - that's what all the other communities are for. There will also be regular theme posts and challenges. Plain ol' discussion posts (gear, techniques, historic exemplars, whatever suits your fancy as long as it is related to photography!) are also welcome... I am really looking forward to it!

Check it out!

Canon canon canon

Photographer friends: A friend of mine posed this question on my facebook wall. I'm a Nikon gal, so I don't know but I know some of you are Canon people! Any suggestions would be helpful :)

PHOTO FRIENDS: Thinking about investing in a DSLR. I am a Canon guy right now and looking at the Rebel series. I don't plan on using it professionally, obviously, but I care about getting high quality respectable shots and I need something that handles low light exceptionally. Do I need the t4i or should I go with the 2 or 3? I hear the 4 is amazing, but do I need all that?

Thanks!
