ENTRY DESCRIPTION
One spring day in 1978 i met a little old man at the Atlantic City boardwalk.He had a cat riding in the basket of his bike.He said (hey buddy my cat does tricks). He put the cat on the skateboard and pushed him down the boardwalk.The cat stayed on the board after it came to a stop.I quickly placed my camera on the ground,a foot from the cat with a 24mm wide lens.The cat blinked his eyes shut from the wind,and a man walked into the frame from the side.This is a straight shot on film with on manipulations.
