NO MATTER WHERE I GO…


Well…..I got back from Montana,,,to weather more snowy and cold than it was there! On my second little adventure look what I found…The minute I hopped out of the truck and walked toward the horses…Mr. Friendly came right over for a good pat on the back and a little conversation….since he seemed determined to stay planted in front of me, I decided that I may as well use his back as a “picture frame”. Lately it seems that no matter where I go, I find a horse.

  3. Horses find horse-people…or is it the other way around? :)

    • I don’t know…I think it’s a chicken or the egg kind of dilemma…

      January 25, 2013 at 6:54 pm

  4. I love the way you shot that last photo! Always so creative :)

    January 25, 2013 at 6:47 pm

  6. “No matter where I go.. or what I see… I;ll be missing thee..” is that not a line from some song.??? but it does tell me the horse attraction perfume you use is damn good….
    They just love you, and your camera just loves them… and you are just too damn good for words…

    • Awwwwww…..I just love your comments :) ….Maybe I should start marketing a horse attraction perfume !?! This trip really reinforced the fact that I want to do a LOT more with horses……I don’t care if I never sell one more image…just love the “work”…which it totally is NOT work :)

      • It is so obvious that with horses you just have the gift… whilst in the Kalahari I visited the horse club about ten times, and traipsed around trying to compose photos… I came home probably with five to which I would say “not to bad”.. yet on some of my walks I just manage to get great photos of the birds… it makes me think we all have a certain affinity to some subjects…Now your horse photos and their composition is beyond belief how you do sometimes… just a natural eye for it and naturally the love of something is going to show up through the lens…
        I tried a few portrait photos.. forget it, I hated it and it showed in the photos…
        You obviously love animals and also the birds and it does show in your photos…
        but you and horses are in a class of your own, and I do look at other horse photographers… nowhere near you…

        • This is one of the most wonderful compliments I’ve ever gotten…..Thank you…..
          I do believe that what you say is true…we all do have a certain affinity for some subjects…
          I think you’re selling yourself short…your photos are always amazing! I’m going to agree with you again….you are just superb with bird images….you capture so much of their “character” and it just shines through….you ARE the “bird man”! You are just the best Bulldog :)

          January 26, 2013 at 3:12 pm

          • Thank you from the “bird man” to the “horse woman”… that doesn’t sound to complementary so let me rephrase it to “Beautiful horse woman”…

            January 26, 2013 at 3:49 pm

            • Ahhhh…HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Lovely :) We now have our superhero identities…

    January 24, 2013 at 11:04 pm

    • Yes, this was Montana…..I felt so lucky, the horse just walked up and said, “use me for a picture frame”…

      January 24, 2013 at 11:23 pm

      • Wow, that is lucky…and the result is incredible!
