a boy and his horse

matt child had this photo shoot itching on his mind for about two years. it was something he knew needed to be done, but it was a bittersweet shoot to swallow. his horse of 29 years has unfortunately become lame and it has become time to let the old friend be lifted from this life...a boy and his horse. matt was only 14 years old when he was given the gift of this horse, and now it has come time for the family and he to say goodbye.

my best to you child family...and a sincere thank you for giving me the opportunity to photograph such a personal and touching story.

knowing art creates art

i'm not saying that i went into this shoot with the mindset to give homage to Marc Chagall, but in the thick of the shoot i was able to identify and put my finger on where i had seen these before, and once granted this awareness it gave me license to push the concept further. submersing myself with art and locking it away in my sub conscience, making it become an actual part of me and how my brain ticks and how i see things in a different light - is what makes me create what i do. it influences what i see, and therefore makes my world, my world.  
knowing art helps create further art.
