Question

Submitted by Vinny Bravo on Tue, 02/17/2015 - 4:25pm.

Does anyone know for a fact ....are all these posed animal pictures stuffed animals or are they dead kittens stuffed? I know my 2 cats would never sit still for a picture like that.

[They were alive and Harry Frees was very, very patient. -tterrace]

Congrats on the eight years, every day of which has been wonderful from this side of the screen. Your work is very appreciated and I look forward to eight more interesting, informative and educational years. Keep 'em coming Dave!

... if any of his failed exposures survived? Given his methodology and saintly patience, surely there had to be one or two that still remain?

Happy eighth anniversary! Many thanks for unearthing thousands of almost lost treasures along the way -- and more than a few pithy captions, too!
