Lately I’ve been finding more and more that the people I’m drawn to shot are those are trying to make a difference with their life. I also like to use my time to better the lives of other but the days are not longer. Christina McCullen on the other hand, always makes time for others. She feed these cats twice day. She organizes fundraisers for them, provides medical care, and builds Rubbermaid homes for them. Her heart is filled with love for these cats, her pets and the other animals she fosters through the Columbia Second Chance shelter.
As a photojournalist, it’s easy to shoot people after people after people. However, animals and the environment also have stories to tell. It was great practice at shooting an sensitive issue that needs its location protected. I also had to be quiet and sensitive to the cats, so they would not run away from me. Surprisingly, a few cats came right up to me, while others steered clear of me. This shoot opened up my eyes to animal photography. Since this shoot, I’ve been looking into other animal stories to tell, so do not be surprised if you see another animal story from me in the future.
