Kitty's fish dinner, Newburyport, Massachusetts
This cat seems to have "hit the cat food jackpot", encountering these two striped bass laid out on marsh grass after someone got lucky while fishing. Taken back in the fall of 1959, this is a copy made from a badly degraded Anscochrome color slide.
Folks often contact me to see if I have any use for old photographic equipment and accessories. Several years ago I was loading a few boxes of free stuff into my car when I noticed the "giver" was placing a few boxes out in front of her house for rubbish day trash pickup. One carton contained quite a few boxes of slides. Asking why they were getting tossed she mentioned that they were from someone who passed away years before and nobody in the family had any use for them. Hating to see the work of any photo enthusiast end up getting trashed, I snagged the lot. I wish the photographer was around so I could get some details regarding this image. I've taken photos of my catch on those rare occasions when I "got lucky" while surf-casting, but this shot is unique... beats them all.
