It’s Flip Through Friday! Today we are flipping through Walter Chandoha: The Cat Photographer (TR729 .C3 c52 2015 Stacks), highlighting the wonderful work of the Godfather of cat photography!
“THE INTERNET LOVES cats. You might even say it runs on them. Type “cat” into Google and you’ll get 1.67 billionhits. But long before Li’l Bub and Maru and all the rest, there was Loco. And Walter Chandoha, the godfather of cat photography.
Chandoha’s esteemed career—and really, what else can you call it, given that he’s spent a lifetime photographing cats—spans some 70 years and set a standard for the generations of feline photographers that followed.
It started one winter day in Astoria, New York, when he stumbled upon a small gray kitten mewing in the snow. He bundled it up and brought it him, named it Loco, and let him do his thing. Being a kitten, this meant chasing his tail, attacking his toys, frightening himself in mirrors, and generally being adorable. And so Chandola would grab his camera and snap photos. He liked them enough to enter them in things like the Brooklyn Eagle’s weekly photo contest, and Loco soon went viral.
Well, as viral as a cat could go in the late 1940s.
And then color photography caught on. That made Chandoha’s name as the go-to guy when you needed a cat photographed.” - read more from the wonderful article over at wired.com
