i saw this cat and just had to take a photo;he seemed more of a temple guardian of sorts than a mere kitty, really.
it's weird. i suppose that many people must have a particular idea in mind when they take a photo; everyone asks me what kinds of photos i take. and, although i have been asked this question dozens of ties, i never know how to answer it. most recently, when one of my coworkers asked that question, i pondered for a moment and said: "time." i am still unsure why i chose that particular word, but: i guess that's what i enjoy photographing most-- those small fleeting moments in time when something happens; something about the situation captures your heart or mind.
i hope to be reviewing my photo database over the new year break-- i have been thinking of compiling a "temple animals" section or something similar; still don't know.

This is haunting, and it avoids the pitfall of just being "cute." Very well done.
