Thank you Jim, that's very kind of you. I was rather stressed before this first show and was relieved it went well. My son came along and that was a big help. It also helped that I know a lot of the people already since this is where I've shown on and off over the years. Since I'm brand new to the field and really need to build up my portfolio, I pushed the fact I was doing all sittings for free and there was no minimum purchase. If they only wanted to buy one pose they could, and they didn't have to decide at the show, they could decide later. I made it clear this was a true introductory deal so hope it doesn't come back to bite me in the end. But it sure helped me get more breeds shot. One thing about shooting cat shows, (most of) the cats are pretty well behaved and (nearly) always very well groomed.

Thanks again, Diana
