What About Me?

We went horseback riding at Adventure Trails in Blue Ridge GA a few weeks ago. The horse in the photo was in the pasture next door and approached us when we were walking to our car. I couldn’t resist this mug – he seemed to me to appear as if he wanted to join in the fun but couldn’t. The hills he’s standing on slopes downward thereby making it appear as if only his head is present. Since spring was just reaching the mountains and the vegetation was barren I decided to use an antique b&w approach that emphasized the ruggedness of the landscape and provided a sense of the past.
