Some catteries put all their kittens in a cute basket, and the kittens smile sincerely for the camera.  Clearly, I have not yet figured out how to do that!

Most of the time, it starts out well . . . 
And then quickly goes down hill . . . 
But sometimes, I never even have a chance! 
So, I have a friend, Ardine.  She is a rather famous photographer and was the chairman of the department of arts of a reknowned university . . . 
Ardine saw this page, and decided to "teach" me how to take great kitten photos.  "It can't be that difficult," she said . . .
For some reason, Ardine doesn't criticize my photos anymore!
