well WHAT did happen to.............BRITT LAPTHORNE

very interesting compostion! love the cat

The black-bordered work is fascinating, also…and both beautiful in their way.
(This cat is so like Cole, although Cole has no red or brown. Very disconcerting to see him looking “chained!”)

Great! Love the black ones.

wonderful work, fantastic title. you always have such interesting titles and of course the work is always fascinating.

I’m thinking Chained Lightening, Wu.

AV.

Ah…I saw this before you had added the story about BRITT LAPTHORNE and your search.
Yes, very disturbing…

I think black cat have been given a bad reputation. I had one for years. He was a wonderful creature…. Is the cat chained up or is that just an illusion created by the composition ? ( which is wonderful )
Titles… In the past I did not put titles, until people started hassling me about it so now it is the first thing that pos into my head.
About your comments re Britt,, so sad !!!

A good piece of work well done !!!

Beautiful composition here….very effective image! love it.

Interesting composition, and the chain to the boat does give the effect of the cat chained. It is an illusion of sorts, the story of Britt very sad. Too much of that today, girls gone missing. You have to be especially careful in places you do not know. Like DUBROVNIK they look beautiful and if your not aware of all the elements in a city you can be draw into a bad section, or run into things you have no understanding of. I know places like Croatia have a bad problem with the sex trade kidnapping women. Your picures capture your intensity and interest. They show the thoughtful side of your creativity. The symbolism of the black cat, and your mind thoughts are more meaningful than a title that is but a moments thought about a picture. Why so many see so many other things in it and yes it could be titled many ways. I just saw a cult film called Donny Darko, and when I saw your black cat after just seeing that I thought how symbolic. It too was about the death of a young girl, time travel, and the mind of imagination and illness. Great work.

your words so thought provoking…...the Lapthorne family have just been to Dubrovnik and such a painful journey for them.

It is vey important that this case is held open.

Answers must be found and the sooner the better but if it takes longer then the Croatian police MUST not rest.

teachers are responsible for students and their performance/doctors for their patients and so police to the public/particularly when there is talk about what little action was taken within the 1st 2 days this young woman went missing…..........

“making in-roads”
this is a saying we have when we feel that each piece of information we gather eventually brings us to a solution….........

thankyou very much for adding me to your watchlist/so pleased

This strikes me deeply, first the image, I’m sure no kitties were chained, the story of the girl, and your own sensitivities regarding the tragedy. Who can explain such senseless brutality? Your documentation is so very thoughtful and appropriate!

this is really interesting ! love the black kitty

Very clever and thought provoking … wonderful work

What a talent you are! And also a silver soul. The compassion you show warms my heart.
Bless

awww, he looks like my cat Sidney :}

i just like cats in general.

Wonderful shot dear Shanghaiwu …I love cats over all …...and great story as well …....I ‘ve been to Dubrovnik for a long time before war …..yes, it’s a beautiful and old town !!!!

My cat, Egypt, looks like this and we call her our little house manager. If she could solve this mystery I have no doubt she would.

The cats eyes says it all!!

great image and wonderful communication of the human condition – until I read your explanation of the photo I thought I was the only person I knew who had reacted this way … I understand what happened with you – a similar thing happened to me when young indigenous dancer died mysteriously in the back of a police car – for some reason I felt it intensely, but, unlike you, I had no way to express it – so, like you, I read everything about him I could find … we are indeed connected to each other in ways that are hard to understand and I appreciate that your photo has finally given me some expression of these inexplicable feelings of connection…

helen corr

thankyou for your insightful words/BRILLIANT

The cat’s cruel situation mirrors the unresolved murder of the victim. This photo essay is quite a project, congrats.
