FAQ

Why do I have so many kitten pics?

I have been fostering for over ten years for Rekku Rescue and before that I took care kittens of a farm cat called Sissi. I also have friends who breed European shorthairs, Abyssinians and Siamese cats.

AI

I will not post AI generated pictures nor major elements like sky created by it. I might use AI powered tools to get rid of distracting elements from a shot I've taken myself. I prefer not to comment comment/fav AI generated pictures. Keep your exif info visible!

By day I'm UX designer (user experience designer) and data analyst (former programmer) in IT.

I mostly post kittens and then something else to prove that I can take pics of other things too. I take a lot of pictures, use months to go through them and use a decade to post them.

I have been in Flickr since 2005 since I was a student in University and my cat Täystuho was just a kitten. She has now passed away and I have just one cat, Pipsa. I have baby pictures of her too from 2007.

In general I love flickr, because here is some much such a great art that keeps me inspired and makes me want to work for better photos. Also those photos that makes my heart beat faster will find their way to my favorites. It is a mad feeling when you a looking photo and your heart start racing - and it's "only" a photo!

Current camera: Canon R6 MII. My old cameras were Canon Powershot S50 (uptill spring 2007), Canon EOS 400D mostly with humble kit lens (18-55mm) and Canon 5D MIII with 24-70 2.8F lens. I also have Canon 15-35 f2.8 and 55-300mm.

I have to remind you, though I do appreciate invites to join to group and/or post a certain photo there, I have principle that I will not participate to any group that uses photos in their comments (and animated gifs are the worst). I'm an oldschooler and I'd prefer textual comments. Animated gifs are just pure evil.

About contacts and comments I take contacts if someone has already taken me and I've noticed them visiting me stream. But otherwise, I rarely have time to see what my contacts are up to because I have huge backlog of streams to visit. I mainly check on people who fav and comment my pics, but it just takes time.
