Slow Boat to China
Friendship
Posted by kylie (Shanghai, China) on 15 September 2008 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.
A true friend is someone who knows all about you and loves you anyway...
I know I said I wasnt going to do any more self portraits, but was playing around with my tripod last night and RubyCat wanted to be involved. I think we both had fun making this picture - RubyCat found the beeping and flashing of my camera on self timer setting completely fascinating!

I love this photo Kylie and its nice to put a face to the name. Isn't it great to have a friend whose only demands are to be fed and cuddled no words of complaint at all. I love that ruby cat http://icanhascheezburger.com/ is a web site that has cool caption on photos of cats its worth a look if you have time and want a good laugh!!!

Ahh finally I get to put a face to the name. Although I always thought you were Chinese! :) Another wonderful shot. Fantastic how your cat decides to pose exactly like you or did you tape her to the wall?

@Nicholas: Hi Nick, a lot of people think I must be Chinese which is a natural assumption seeing as I live in China (actually I am a kiwi gal). RubyCat posed himself for this image. I was mucking around with my tripod and when he lay on his back and gave me that look I decided to join him!

I think as a cat lover this is one of the most marvellous images I have ever seen, it's like you have gone "ready?" and he posed at the same time you did and waited for the camera, it is an absolute classic image, 5 stars my friend, bravo, it is nothing short of brilliant! Rubycat, you are GORGEOUS!

Very creative shot! And nice self portrait. It's always funny to see who's in the other side of the camera, adding a face to it. Excellent shot with RubyCat copying you! Funny indeed
PS - I really thought you were chinese... :P

delightful shot of you and of RubyCat. I like the unexpected angle and the echoes / balance between the shapes and tones in the composition.
