Horse Play
Last week, I mentioned the senior pictures I’d be taking for my daughter’s best friend, and I may have said something about a certain horse being part of the photo shoot. Since I’m writing this you know I lived to tell about the experience, as did the horse and the beautiful young woman. Though it was sunny and breezy and a whole lot warmer than expected in late September, everything went well.
We had a few tense moments when Rachel (the girl) nearly had her bare foot stomped on by Lancelot (the horse). But the bareback horse/barefoot girl look was what Rachel wanted and since she got her foot out of the way in time, no damage was done. Except that some of the horse photos weren’t that good. The quality issue had something to do with the photographer’s obsession with avoiding the back half of the horse when she should have been framing shots of the front half. Anyway the picture above is proof that the pictures were taken, but you’ll have to trust me when I say the girl was there, too. Until she sees her pictures, you’ll have to wait.
When I add Sunday’s experience to the difficulties I had on Saturday. when I took shots of stuffed animals for a magazine article, I’ve decided not to pursue a pet photography career. Sometimes, the littlest things remind me that life is really, really good.
