Shiromi’s Diary

I just got my ADSL connection installed yesterday and it's really fantastic. Not only it's amazingly faster than my ISDN connection but I also don't have to worry about the time I have to stay connected since I'm not paying for it !

So what about the changes here ? Well, actually not much, I was just cleaning my website a little, organizing folders, etc ... A transparent change for you then ...

Disappointed ? Ok, here's some pictures of Pitou I took recently!

The now traditional picture of Pitou, taken with my new camera, the same one I used when I went to France this year. For your information, the lens I'm using is the amazing Canon EF 28-135mm IS USM.

Just some more pictures of Pitou, who is still my favorite subject to experiment some photography techniques ... ;P
I actually got an excellent book recently called "Nature Photography" by John Shaw which explains photography techniques, starting from the very basic ones. The book is clear and well written and the pictures are absolutely wonderful ...

Although I learnt little so far, this book revived my interest for photography so here are some more pictures of my beautiful (not so little now) cat

No major change this time either, I just added 3 pictures of Pitou. She really got bigger lately but she hasn't lost anything of her energy to run everywhere and make me crazy ! She's even finding some new things to play twith everyday such as my ironing table, which she loves to hang to or that piece of calendar where she's hiding under thinking that nobody can see her ! Anyway, she's still very cute, check out the sleeping pictures I took of her

Today is Pitou's birthday (almost) : she was born the 1st of April 2000 so she's today 7 months old. She indeed got a little bigger but apart from that she hasn't changed at all! She's still running everywhere, always ready to jump (higher and higher!) but she is also capable of showing a lot of affection when she comes to sleep on your lap

I managed to take some no flash pictures and I had to keep her still and make her look at something else than the camera, which is pretty tough when you know how excited she usually is! I was actually playing with a piece of paper or moving my fingers to keep her attention but she was always jumping before I could take the picture !

Anyway, see the new Pitou pictures !

I've added a picture of Pitou (yet another one !), where she has a funny position with her rear legs :).
