Cat lovers - Walter Chandoha

Google CNN "Before the Internet, his cat photos ruled the world"  -or -

 

https://www.cnn.com/interactive/2019/09/style/cat-photographer-cnnphotos/index.html

 

Walter Chandoha passed away at 98 earlier this year.  He published over 30 books and his daughters estimate he took over 90,000 photos of cats.

 

Here's one of my favorites from the story.

@denisemb ...His wonderful photographs are absolutely precious and captured my heart!...When I saw your post, I checked with our local Barnes & Noble and they put in an order for me for his last book before his passing, which will be available as of 9/22...."Cats Photographs 1942-2018"...

 

Thank you so much for sharing! Woman Happy

Hey, I'm considering purchasing that book too.

 

My DH sent me the link and we are surprised we never heard of him (we're in our 60's).  Considering his work was used in advertising, greeting cards, calenders, etc. we HAD to have seen them...
