Aiken Dog Photography: Coaster and Rocky

Coaster and Rocky are two Portuguese Water Spaniels I had the opportunity to photograph at Full Gallop Farm in Aiken, South Carolina. Full Gallop made a beautiful backdrop to photograph these beautiful Aiken dogs. The dogs are owned by Russ and Ann Schurtz.

USEF Clinic

A few photos from the USEF Driver Training Clinic at Hermitage Farm outside Louisville, KY with instructors Michael Fruend and Peter Tischer. Drivers schooled dressage and cones over a three day period, with the clinic open to long listed drivers. Many of the drivers there were preparing for the USEF National Championships the following weekend, and others had up and coming horses. Click the small photos to go to full screen photos!

Aiken Trials

The Aiken Trials is the first leg of Aiken’s Triple Crown. The Aiken Trials is flat racing for the horses working out of Aiken’s Training Track and is a very popular tailgating event in Aiken. It was interesting to watch the babies race, some of them clearly did not want to be in the starting gate. The Aiken Steeplechase and Aiken Polo make up the other two legs of the triple crown in Aiken. You can read more about the Aiken Trials here

My Trip to Texas

photocrati gallery

 

After the driving event in Ocala, I flew to Texas to visit family. My father lives in a very pretty area of Texas with huge oak trees. I am a little obsessed with the way the branches look in winter/early spring.. They are sort of skeletal and other worldly. That and there was just plain great light there. Here are a few ‘landscape-y’ type photos I took while I was there. The final panorama is a composite of five images and, as a result, can be printed very large. In case anyone was wondering, or needing something for the mantle or what-not. Just throwing that out there.
