I am attracted to photography because it is a medium of surprise, and of awarness. Unselfconscious moments captured with a camera can reveal a richness in that moment that may have otherwise gone unnoticed. The camera can make an ordinary moment seem anything but. This is in keeping with eastern thought which believes that there are no "ordinary" moments. Every moment is pregnant with significance. And the camera is a tool that can help remind us of this essential truth. – Michael Lunceford Email: skyoftexas@austin.rr.com Pictures in the Pentax Photo Gallery: http://www.pentaxphotogallery.com/home#section=ARTIST&subSection=134380&subSubSection=0&language=EN Wine article & photos - 3 Days, 300 Wines in Burgundy (See Fall 2008 link, bottom of page) : http://www.winefoodfoundation.org/applications/SecureLoginManager/newsletter/newsletter_master.html Pictures on JPG Magazine site: http://skyoftexas.smugmug.com/Portraits/Portraits/P1000282W/617600696_Haavk-Ti.jpg http://skyoftexas.smugmug.com/ 2009-12-02T08:19:43Z Copyright 2009, the copyright holder of each photograph.
