Author Description

In cities and towns across the world, feral cats roam unnoticed, with generation after generation making their way through lives filled with hardship. When photographer Knox began noticing the growing colony of cats in the alley behind his recording studio, he entered a complex world of feline families struggling for survival. In many ways brutal, this world was also filled with strong family bonds, intriguing personalities and real emotion. The Urban Tails 2008 wall calendar, featuring Knox's striking images, celebrates these survivors at the intersection of nature and industry. Knox is an acclaimed photographer known for his dramatic, gritty and realistic visual take on street life. His book, "Urban Tails," was published in 2006 by New World Library.
