Cooper is a 4 year old American Shorthair cat living in Seattle. Once a week he wears a lightweight digital camera fastened to his collar, which snaps a new photo every 2 minutes.
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.
Yesterday Cooper let me follow him around with the video camera while he took photos. You will notice this cat does a lot of running and jumping! Below the video are a few photos he took yesterday while I was filming.
Brilliant photo, Cooper! I love the whimsical motion and soft colors.
We’re hoping to put in some new plants this spring. And Cooper can’t wait to help!
This house appears to hide in a tropical jungle.
After a long morning of running, jumping and taking photos, Cooper is taking a nap. One of his favorite resting spots is the pillow in the window seat, where he can keep one eye on the birds out on the power lines.
A portion of all proceeds will benefit PAWS Cat City Adoption Center.
Supporting Cooper’s photos will mean more cats will be microchipped, spayed and neutered. It’s a small way for Cooper to give back to the community.
The gallery exhibit details are as follows:
DATE: Friday, February 13, 2009
TIME: 6:00PM to 9:00PM
LOCATION: Urban Light Studios at The Greenwood Collective
ADDRESS: 8537 Greenwood Ave, Seattle, WA
This date coincides with Greenwood-Phinney’s monthly ArtWalk. Please join us in celebrating the beautiful photos our cat has taken during this unique project – and for a great cause to boot!
While extremely excited about his upcoming gallery exhibit, Cooper admits growing a little tired of the paparazzi. He seems to put up with a lot, as long as it’s only coming from the liberal elite media. Read the rest of this entry »
Cooper’s popularity continues as Seattle’s King 5Â Evening Magazine came to shoot a story about him today. We hope the episode airs just in time for Cooper’s upcoming gallery exhibit! Read the rest of this entry »
Cooper had a tremendous 2008. What started in 2007 as an experiment has recently received a great deal of unexpected national attention. Art galleries are exhibiting Cooper’s photos, front pages of newspapers around the country are telling his story, and Animal Planet featured Cooper in an episode of Cats 101.
In 2009, Cooper’s fans can look forward to many more exciting developments and new photography. As always, the photos taken by Cooper are 100% original and unaltered. Good boy, Cooper.
Cooper is currently running through the yard in the rain enjoying the beautiful Seattle weather. He’s glad the deep snow has melted.
