I posted this on FB where it got a lot of love, so thought I’d post it here too.

Is this possibly the cutest kitten photo ever? Taken by Walter Chandoha, a renowned cat photographer in the 1950s.

I’m questioning my life choices, that I worked and studied to become an accountant for my entire career, rather than becoming a renowned cat photographer.

That is indeed a great picture.

That is a wonderful photograph. I hadn’t heard of the photographer so I looked him up. There was a nice BBC piece about his career.

The little girl in the photo that RP posted is Chandoha’s daughter Paula.

Very cool, WTG. Thanks!

When I was a kid, and I saw a particularly nice cat photo in a magazine, I’d always find Chandoha’s name printed below.
