“Friendship is the hardest thing in the world to explain. It’s not something you learn in school. But if you haven’t learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven’t learned anything.”

― Muhammad Ali

It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything on wild horse's social media. My wife suggested I post an update on what I’ve been up to because she said when she follows someone and they disappear from posting anything, she wonders how come. A recent trip to see the wild horses of the Onaqui herd management area in Utahs West Desert. The other day at my studio/gallery at the Monarch, a gentleman stared at the pictures intently. I was talking to some other folks and keeping my eye on him, and I could tell he was enjoying them. After I was finished talking to the people I was with, I walked over to see if he had any questions. The other day when I was out on the range, I decided to do something a little different. I don’t normally go east towards the Onaqui mountains when I’m out on the range. Most of the time, I’m in a crunch for time and need to make the most out of it. I don’t have much time to explore. But the other day, I got a good start and had some time to go east and look for the elusive east herd. The most recent herd count, according to the @onaqui.catalogue the East herd has a total of 41 horses. I’ve seen a few from time to time, but I have not committed to learning more about them. If you’re in Ogden, Utah, this weekend and want to come and say hi, I’ll be in my studio at the @themonarchogden from 5:00-9:00. This is the Onaqui stallion called Coyote (OQ236brs Onaqui Catalog foundation). In the 3rd image is a part of his band. Wild horses from the American West. Shooting for black and white presents it’s own challenges. The contrast has to work. The lighting needs to be more dramatic. But when it comes together the story it tells will take you to a different place, more dreamlike with all the feels. It’s been a brutal winter for horses and humans. I finally got out to the range to see the horses the other day, and they looked tired. They were tired of the cold, the wind, and the lack of good feed.
