“It does not matter how long you are spending on the earth, how much money you have gathered or how much attention you have received. It is the amount of positive vibration you have radiated in life that matters,”

― Amit Ray,

Sometimes it's hard for me to put into words what it feels like when I am photographing wild horses and something unique happens. I want to put you right there with me. The smell of the sagebrush, the cool spring-high desert air, the sounds of pounding hooves thumping the ground as they run by. The sounds of horses squealing at each other. There's nothing like it! It’s been a tough year for the loss of well known wild horses. The Onaqui’s in Utah have had their share. It's a bummer to hear the news that the Mccullough Peaks herd has lost one of their own. The stallion called Washiki passed a couple of days ago. I got to photograph him last fall when I was up there. He was an older horse and at the time he did not have any mares. But this spring, he battled to regain a small family. Wild horses will never cease to amaze me. As far as I'm concerned they are the greatest, and most inspiring creatures on earth! You do not want to get in the middle of two stallions sizing each other up. I’ve been holding onto a domestic stallion when he went after another horse. It happened so fast that I had no control over him. The other horse was tied up and never saw it coming. He now has a bite scar he can tell all his buddies about. Onaqui’s on their way to the water. I love horseshoeing images! Especially of the ones of shoes being burned on. The smoke coming off the hoof is never the same and can create some of the most graceful lines and shapes. If you saw my stories from the last few days, I have rented some Gallerie space at the @themonarchogden to display some work. After getting it painted yesterday, my wife and I took up a few pieces today and hung them up to get a feel for what it will look like. “I learned this, at least, by my experiment: that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.” “There is virtue in work and there is virtue in rest. Use both and overlook neither.” “Your art might not save the world, but it will save your life if you fully devote yourself to it”~ Thomas J. Bevin
