我给女士和她们的猫拍照,是为了打破“疯狂的猫女士”的刻板印象,以下是我最喜欢的照片
I started “Girls and Their Cats” on Instagram in 2015 as a way to debunk the crazy cat lady stereotype and showcase cat-owning women in a positive light.
2015年,我在Instagram上发布了《女孩和她们的猫》,以此打破人们对猫女的刻板印象,并以积极的态度展示养猫的女性。
I have since photographed more than 300 cat ladies and their rescued or adopted cats in cities across the U.S.
从那以后,我在美国各地的城市拍摄了300多猫女士和她们收养的猫。
I have a book coming out in August 2019 and wanted to share a few of my favorite photos with you along with snippets from their stories, which you can read in full in the book.
我有一本书将于2019年8月出版,我想和你分享一些我最喜欢的照片,以及他们故事的片段,你可以在书中完整阅读。
Aisha Awadallah, Alex, Xena, and Tigger
艾莎·阿瓦达拉,亚历克斯,希娜和跳跳虎
“My three cats are all reflections of me and represent the full spectrum of my personality and phases of my life.”
“我的三只猫都是我的倒影,代表了我的性格和人生的各个阶段。”
Hannah Shaw, Coco and Eloise
汉娜·肖,可可和埃洛伊斯
“Coco was my inspiration for getting involved in kitten rescue and shifting all of my advocacy efforts to focus on neonatal kittens and Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR). Raising her taught me how great a need there is for educational resources about kitten care.”
“Coco是我参与小猫救助的灵感来源,并将我所有的倡导工作转移到新生小猫和诱捕-绝育-回归(TNR)上。抚养它让我认识到,我们非常需要小猫护理方面的教育资源。”
“Eloise is a shy girl. She’s not keen on new people or new experiences, which makes our bond even more special.”
“爱洛伊丝是个害羞的女孩。她不喜欢新朋友或新体验,这让我们的关系更加特殊。”
Sara Anderson and Loki
莎拉·安德森和洛基
“Loki is incredibly affectionate, cuddly, and chatty. He loves napping on our bellies, eating chicken and scrambled eggs, and receiving hearty head scratches.”
“洛基非常深情、可爱、健谈。它喜欢睡在我们的肚子上,吃鸡肉和炒鸡蛋,还喜欢挠头。”
Monica Choy, Linus and Zorro
莫妮卡·崔,莱纳斯和佐罗
“Linus, who’s named after the Zen Peanuts character, has a lot of poise, and I often think of him as a cat model. He’s always posing with his paws and tail positioned just so.”
“莱纳斯以《花生禅宗》中的角色命名,它很沉稳,我经常把它当成猫的模特。它总是把爪子和尾巴摆成这种姿势。”
“Zorro is more standoffish with strangers, but he is loyal and tender to those he’s chosen as his people.”
“佐罗对陌生人比较冷淡,但它对那些它选择的人很忠诚,很温柔。”
Jamilah King and Smarty
雅米拉·金和斯玛蒂
“Smarty is the most communicative little being I’ve ever known, and while it’s not great that he purrs in my face at five in the morning, I try to look at it as him just being very open about his needs. And I can learn from that!”
“Smarty是我所认识的最健谈的小家伙,虽然它在早上5点对着我的脸咕噜咕噜叫不是什么好事,但我试着把它看成是它对自己的需求非常开放的表现。我可以从中学习!”
Alexandra, Lois and Maxine
亚历山德拉,露易丝和玛克辛
“Every morning, I wake up wearing a cat bikini: one snoozing across my chest, one on my hips. They are the best.”
“每天早上,我穿着猫咪比基尼醒来:一个趴在我胸前打盹,一个趴在我的屁股上。它们是最棒的。”
Lauren Leavell and Doo Doo
