If Theda Bara had a cat …

Our Gandalf would be that cat.

So last week, we decided to do a little at home photoshoot. Bruce wanted to try out some new lighting and I wanted to try out some makeup tricks. I chose 1920s vamp, Theda Bara as my model.

We had no sooner set everything up, when Gandalf, who knows about cameras and lighting (he is often the “model”) came rushing in. He clearly thought he would be in the shots, and would be getting his usual photoshoot bribes of Greenies.
