Story: While driving through the park, a herd of wild horses crossed the road right in front of us. I immediately jumped out of the car and started shooting, and this is what happened. It was a wonderful experience to sit and watch the horses--and all the little colts--graze a few feet away from us.
And yes, in case you're wondering, the title is a tactless ploy to increase my female reader base.
Has anyone ever told you that as a photographer, you really carry a special perspective of putting things in focus? I won’t say it’s a pure luck or a sheer coincidence that you happen to be present and just in time to capture these moments of life. It takes not only camera skills, I believe, but a way of looking into the nature of things to preserve and relay the power of these moments. I guess I’m really lucky to spot your blog and see these photos. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteIt’s interesting that you titled the photo “Horse Love” and put it along with the quote about love here. Love is never easy, whether it is to be put into words or action. Not sure if you meant to be ironic, but the affection among the horses did tease out an irony on Henrique’s cynical remarks on not being able to love Dodo after the horse-riding incident.
