My eyes have become so accustomed to the precision of digital photography that these stand out for me as something dreamy, organic, and fluid. They have a deep quality of motion and reflection about them.

All cultures seem to have had them, however I do not recall reading of any related to the Inuit.Silbshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12561606347525787459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18086284.post-434659537726806502007-02-15T06:23:00.000-05:002007-02-15T06:23:00.000-05:00I am thoroughly enjoying this journey, Michael.
