White Mane

Posted by & filed under Commentary, Photo, Photography.

Like a scene straight out of a fairytale novel, a white maned horse, Jill, pauses and casts here stares in my general direction resulting in the photograph presented on the left which I have titled – White Mane. Indeed, the scene appeared almost majestic as the various elements coalesced into the composition visible here. But… Read more »

The Eyes have It

Posted by & filed under Commentary, Photo, Photography.

During the preparatory work for Thanksgiving, I took a photograph of a friends daughter.

This is yet another photo which I took while on “safari” at the Rosemund Gifford Zoo. I say safari as this is what it felt like while I was out there taking photos. I stalked this reindeer for about 15 minutes before he finally lifted his head and turned around. Yes, I was playing the… Read more »
