Photographer, artist, promoter and gallery owner, Michael Judge has led a whirlwind life. He's had two near-death experiences, sold millions of dollars worth of art, and created memorable visual images. In Captured Horizons, Judge writes about his many loves and adventures with unmitigated verve, much as he has lived his life. Whether he's describing his often stormy relationships with women, reminiscing about rubbing shoulders with movie starts, U.S. presidents, Mafiosi, wealthy globetrotters and art forgers, or revealing the inside dope about selling art on cruise ships, he tells it all with refreshing honesty. What emerges is the journey of a complex artist who is never afraid of reinventing himself. Works from Judge's extensive portfolio are interspersed throughout the book, including the spiritually inspired Light Paintings and the America series - the result of crisscrossing the back roads of the United States more than 30 times. In Captured Horizons words and images create a journey which not only captures, but expands our own horizons.

Our changing concept of time and the surprising, often mysterious origins of the calendar come to life in this richly informative, beautifully written book.

Did you know that the ancient Romans left sixty days of winter out of their calendar, considering these two months a dead time of lurking terror and therefore better left unnamed? That they had a horror of even numbers, hence the tendency for months with an odd number of days? That robed and bearded druids from the Celts stand behind our New Year’s figure of Father Time? That if Thursday is Thor’s day, then Friday belongs to his faithful wife, Freya, queen of the Norse gods? That the name Easter may derive from the Anglo-Saxon goddess of spring, Eostre, whose consort was a hare, our Easter Bunny? Three streams of history created the Western calendar—first from the Sumerians, then from the Celtic and Germanic peoples in the North, and finally from Palestine with the rise of Christianity. Michael Judge teases out the contributions of each stream to the shape of the calendar, to the days and holidays, and to associated lore. In them, he finds glimpses of a way of seeing before the mechanical time of clocks, when the rhythms of man and woman matched those of earth and sky, and the sacred was born.
