Photographer's Favorites 2003-2006

Photography has been an on-again off-again hobby for me since my first trip to Europe in 2002. I love the way it focuses all my senses, as nothing else does, on finding the beauty around me. That's the thing about photography; everything has beauty. Maybe it's a matter of waiting for the right lighting, or finding the right angle, or catching the perfect moment, but the beauty is there, you just have to look hard enough. And once in a great while, even the beauty is penetrated to reveal something deeper, greater: a Spark, a touch of the Divine. These are pictures that have done that for me, for one reason or another. They capture a small particle of what I seek. I hope some of them will touch you in a similar way. If that's the case, then please comment below to tell me specifically which photos here touched you, and if know why. Part of my reason for posting these is to see how the hearts of others respond to them, and if it's at all similar to my reaction. And check here later for more detail about the story behind each picture. Mejte se pekne!
