20 On The Nose

Boulder, CO

When I'm photographing our cats, I usually try to get the focus on an eye, like with the previous shot of Spock. But I thought I'd see how it looks when the focus is on the nose, and the eyes are just slightly soft. This is McCoy ("Damn it Jim, I'm a cat, not a model!"), who rarely holds still for long, this close to someone who can be scratched.

Personally I’m more into the eyes than the nose. I think it’s that window to the soul thing. Paul

Spock is older than McCoy. We originally had Spock and Kirk, but Kirk died, so we adopted McCoy. We couldn't really change Spock's name at that point.

Why does McCoy look more like a Spock to me?
