Taos Art Museum



TAM will have its annual "Russia Night in Taos" to support the museum which shows works by Nicolai Fechin. The art donated to their auction does not have to be Russian and my choice is my cat "Bonne Chance!"

This photograph was taken in 2002 near Montmartre on the hill above Paris. I studied geometry as a grad student and I was trying to capture the cobblestones. The negative that preceeds this shot is just that. When I took the second exposure, the cat ran across! Because this was B&W film, I did not know until I returned from Paris, and my film developer said "You got the cat!"

No set up, no photoshop, this is nearly a full negative!
