Cooper is a pretty solitary fellow when he’s out with his camera. He usually sticks to photographing the landscape, trees and plants. Every now and then we get a surprise cameo appearance from a human subject.
Last week Cooper was roaming the neighborhood with his camera and ran into a neighbor, Elaine Thompson, who is a professional photographer here in Seattle. No stranger to Cooper and his work, she shot a photo of him, and he shot a photo of her! Elaine shoots all sorts of amazing photos and Cooper is pretty jelous of her work with the Seattle Seahawks – isn’t that a type a bird?
“Neighbor Visit” Here is Elaine saying hello to Cooper!
“Dorks” This is one of Cooper’s best known portraits of his humans, Deirdre & Michael.
“Baby Brother” Up close and personal with Cooper’s little sibling, Cameron.
“Garden Girl” Cooper commiserates with a gardener pulling weeds.
“Little Boy Orange” This cute child holds his hand out in friendship to Cooper.
Cooper is currently running around in the yard taking pictures. He wears his camera only once a week, which allows him to simply be a cat the rest of the time.
People have been asking how Cooper is adjusting to being a big brother. The results are in: he loves hanging around baby Cameron (particularly if he isn’t crying). Cooper is always curious, and especially about the little noises coming from our newest family member.
Cooper has been hoping that a kitten (or maybe a litter of them) would emerge from Deirdre’s belly. But last Tuesday, December 1st 2009, she gave birth to a human baby boy! His name is Cameron David Cross.
“Baby Nap” Cooper, never wake a sleeping baby.
“Mother and Child Reunion” Love this shot of Deirdre holding baby Cameron.
Today is Cooper’s 4th Birthday! To celebrate, Cooper not only gets this fun new website revamp, but also a special meal which he very patiently waited for us to get a good photo of. What a good boy!
Cooper has been a bit distracted lately – or more realistically we have been a bit distracted lately. Oh yes, Cooper’s still going out and shooting lots of pictures on sunny days. However, after he comes back with another set of 300 incredible shots we haven’t been doing much more than enjoying them ourselves. Internet, we’ve been so selfish.
All this week, Michael and I will be preparing Cooper for his big gallery opening on Friday, February 13th. The show is happening at 
Many have asked us what Cooper does on a typical day, how he spends his time. Easier than explaining it, I thought I would show you.
