Description:

In the winter of 1949, NYC marketer and budding photographer Walter Chandoha discovered a stray kitten, later named Loco, shivering in the snow. This serendipitous encounter ignited a lifelong passion, marking the inception of his illustrious seven-decade career in feline photography.
