I was introduced to the
art and beauty of photography at an early age by my father , Ralph.
I remember so well our many family outings,
that getting there was always delayed by frequent stops so dad could step out and take a photo. Kristin has to endure
the stops now.
Around 6 or so my dad gave me a Browne. That camera was a lot of
fun, got me in a lot of trouble too.
In 1973 I was hired by the Hihannas Cattle Company;
breeders of Arabian Horses, to photograph their prized horses, in motion in a arena of green clover.
That was my
introduction into large animal photography and I haven't shaken it yet.
I have photographed
and produced many rodeo videos in our area of the state. Worked as a wedding photographer sense 1974 and a free-fall
photographer as well.
Photography in motion is so exciting. Being able to capture
the emotions of horse and rider in their continual battle to concur the footing and obstacles that the arena challenges
them to stop the time, is so fulfilling.
