I love photography, and will often use it as an escape from my stress. Recently I went out with my cat Nicey and followed her around, snapping different angles of her. This one happens to be one of my favorites. Being her owner, I am used to the imperfection on her left eye. But others tend to give an odd look and ask what happened.
