About A big "first" for me :-) I have written many Ragdoll articles for local magazines and club newsletters, and my cats have appeared many times - but this is the first time any of MY images are used and published :-)

This article and images appeared in the July issue of a South African animal magazine called "Animaltalk". The editor is also the photographer and he almost never uses any pictures other than those taken by himself. When he called me to say that he is doing another Ragdoll breed profile and that he would be using my article, I was most surprised when he asked me for images of my cats and kittens :-)

Please excuse the poor quality scan. The publishers did not do a good job with the images either, and it's quite disappointing having images running across two pages :-((

But I am not complaining too much - as I am extremely proud of myself :-)

The stretched-out Ragdoll is an image by my hubby, Robert Currie :-)

Linn, my wife is currently hooked on the idea of a Bengal. I have to agree they are beautiful cats.

Thank you Andy :-)

If you are serious about getting a Ragdoll kitten, email me at raglin@ragdoll.co.za so that I can put you in touch with the most reputable Ragdoll breeders in your area.

Word of warning though ... Ragdolls are addictive! :-))

Hi Rodney

Thank you :-)

Yes, the Ragdoll is known for it's beautiful blue eyes ... the deeper the blue, the better.

However, I sent my images to the publisher "as is" as I figured they would do the correct colour adjustments as they should know their printers' "set-up". They have used excessive PS work on my images in that some of the cats' eye colour and some backgrounds are not true colour.

Having said that, I do have exceptional eye colour in my Ragdolls though :-)

Rodney Steele   {K:1841} 6/24/2004
Linn, Congratulations. Even through the scan, I can see why the editor used your photos, they're very good. The eyes of the cats are particularly appealing, is that a trait of the breed? Again, congratulations. Rodney

Hey Chris, you can call me anything, just don't call me old and ugly :-))

Thursdays I have the garden service come around and on a couple of occasions, I was preparing to shoot some florals on our front porch just when they arrived. The owner of the garden services LOVES to help me "set up" and then proudly tells everybody of "our" images!

Today he is out of luck because I am still waiting for some buds to open more before I can shoot them.

Have a wonderful day Chris - and remember to think and shoot pink! :-)

Thank you :-) I knew you would be happy too :-)

Robert was a bit miffed that they didn't print his name ... shame ... I did give the magazine all the details of not only the photographers, but also the cats' details.

(((HUGS)))

Ooops! That would be a real test, won't it? :-) But that's what I am expecting from the UseFilm members - to give me their honest critique - how else would I ever be able to improve and learn? :-)

Thanks Paul :-)

Morning Jeroen
Yes, yesterday was a good day for you, Robert and I :-) I got my magazine in the post yesterday afternoon and believe me, my hands trembled when I paged to the article :-) Everybody has been nagging me to call the editor to find out if he used my images or not ... but I figured I would rather see the results in print. And obviously I am very, very chuffed :-))

Are you also still on Cloud 9? :-))

Good Morning Elisa :-)

Thanks :-)) I think what makes anything successful is the passion behind it. Because I love my cats and the Ragdoll breed so much, I put a lot of effort into everything concerning them and the breed.

As for photography - heck, I would never ever have thought I would get so passionate over it! I have taken thousands of "cat snapshots" since 2000, but only since mid January 2004 did I really get into it, when I got the Z1 from my "own Santa" :-)

This is like a "new awakening" ... and I think you will understand what I mean? :-)) Nothing that I look at is seen with my "old eyes". It's as if a new world has opened up for me :-)



Have a great day girlfriend :-)
