Sometimes it is
being in the right place at the right time, as in the photograph of
my cat Barney in the window pushing back the curtain.. Or in the case

my friend Roger and his family. I feel that photographs are all around

one chooses to press the shutter release button determines whether or
not a moment becomes a momentous occasion.
