Off and Running

28May09

Here I go again! I just zippered up my gear bag after my last inventory check and I will be on my way to the airport shortly. My brother is nice enough to bring me to the airport after he finishes up his last final of his high school career. He has decided to go to school for film and has been following me around at horse shows learning the ropes. I am adding him to the list of services offered by STUDIO EQUUS event coverage for 2009. He has shot some pretty cool stuff so far.

This time I am off to Denver, CO to cover the High Prairie ** at the Colorado Horse Park with fellow “horse shooters” Cristy Cumberworth and Lynne Glazer. My bag is STUFFED with gear. Last year I had a small lens issue and left poor Cristy with endless hrs of editing. No more third party lenses for me! To make up for it, I have rented a “Fatty” ( Nikon 300 mm) from the nice folks at lensrentals.com. This adds an additional 7 lbs to my bag and requires me to drag along my monopod. Hopefully the nice people at the airport won’t give me too much trouble over it. I have also rented a 14 mm to play with on cross country day, and for when we swing in to The Great Dunes on our way to Albuquerque. I can’t just fly right home! I will be travelling home with Cristy and taking in the scenery on our 8 hr? car drive and flying home from there ( only when my memory cards are full of travel photos). I will try to keep you updated with our antics.

Here is a favorite shot of section D welsh colt, Ashland Daffydd born just a few weeks ago with his dam Madoc Victoria kicking up some dust.
