Cats have been a favorite subject for 120 years. See this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2eblNBqTD58 It's fabulous what we can do in Photoshop, but for me, I simply love that old monochrome image of the cat in its almost Victorian or Edwardian pose.

Screen Protectors, whether they're for your camera or your smartphone, are just another example of people selling you what you don't need. I've never used a screen protector and never shall. On most of the OM-D series cameras, you simply flip the screen away so it's not exposed to knocks or scratche...
