An Evolving Perspective:
A Digital Exhibit
Exploring my photo library, one image at a time.
For a long time, I thought my website needed to be a place to sell prints. As I looked back through the images I’ve captured, I realized I simply wanted to share the stories and adventures with you.
This is a digital exhibit - a place to see my favourite galleries, one image at a time. No pressure - just a shared love for the horse, the light and the abstract.
My Photography Journey…
Monochrome Horse
Monochrome photography will always bring back memories of my darkroom.
Textured Equine
Textures and colour helped create a new look for my horse images.
Abstract Expressions
Multiple exposures in camera use motion, light and patterns to create abstracts.
When art becomes a conversation…
She wore gray
like indifference.
Then -
a gust of November,
rust, ochre,
autumn’s last leaves.
She danced.
Alive,
longing to become
flame.
Dianne Hammond, thank you for the poem! Such an unexpected treasure.
I used to think photography was about what I saw.
Now I realize it’s about being present.
The Artist’s Journal…
This was the one of the first images that changed the direction of my horse photography.
On this workshop, I really felt as if I had stepped back in time and decided that this image captured how I felt. I loved how various brushes created this soft, old world feel. It was the first canvas that was printed for my new home and the very first image of my own work in such a large format. Go big, or go home was my new motto!
This image was soon followed by others as I continued to travel and explore horses internationally. Luckily, I have a lot of wall space!!
