Oscar and Oliver at Otis Kenyon Wine
Oscar and Oliver are about a year old and still very kittenish. In other words, they were kind of hard to keep in one place long enough to focus! Oscar didn't want to have anything to do with getting his picture taken. Oliver, on the other hand, didn't mind as long as I could keep up with all the places he wanted to go, which a couple of times was into the back of my car! Thank goodness their owners, Muriel Kenyon, who is the sales director at Otis Kenyon Wine, and her boyfriend, Dreux Dillingham, the assistant winemaker, were patient cat herders.

Labels: cats, Northwest, Oregon, photographs, Walla Walla, wineries
magazine, and while on assignment for them and other freelance clients, I've gotten some cute shots of cats who make their home in and around wineries and vineyards. I've also been impressed with the job that Craig McGill & Susan Elliott have done on their 
books, so when I recently wrapped up work on a book project with Braiden Rex-Johnson (
), I was thinking of ideas for another photo project and came up with Wine Country Cats. Ultimately, I'd like to take enough good photos to turn the project into a book, though the editor of Wine Press, another cat lover, says I'm always welcome to make a photo story for the magazine on the subject if nothing else. For now though, I'm researching which wineries and vineyards in the Northwest have cats and trying to slowly but surely make trips to visit them all. I also wanted a place on the web where people I've told about the project can see how things are going.
