Definitely one of my favorites,
Thanks for sharing.
I recently saw a collection of quotes from photographers in a Photo Magazine at my doctor's office, he is an amateur photo bug so there are Photography magazines everywhere in the waiting room.
I wrote this one down because I knew one day Kurt would post a photo that this would apply to.
It always amazes me that just when I think that there's nothing left to do in photography and that all permutations and possibilities have been exhausted, someone comes along and puts the medium to a new use, and makes it his or her own, yanks it out of this kind of amateur status, and makes it as profound and moving and as formally interesting as any other medium. It's like pushing something heavy uphill. Photography's not an easy medium. It is, finally, perhaps the hardest of them all.

Great photos, great quote!
Me thinks Kurt really digs his new toy! Very wide angle lens or composite shots? Either way...very cool!
...that is spectacular! The only thing missing is ME sitting on the bench! ;-)
Yes - wonderful pic. ALMOST as good as being there!
Wonderful! I need to be sitting there with Kitty having a cocktail.
