Had a great time as usual, photographing the National Barrel Horse Association Championships, and the women that compete with their beloved horses. The women are nothing short of inspirational, for the work they take on, and the love they show for their partners - their dancing, prancing horses, that are always ready to explode into racing competition. I did that Saturday. Today I noticed a new photography competition - Marie Clairs International Photography Competition, via Paris. It requires a single day event, 10 pictures show- casing women!!! WELL, WELL doesn't God work in mysterious ways! I sent in 10 pictures to the magazine. They will select a Grand Winner and 10 Honorable Mentions. I don't get my hopes up as 1000's of photographers submit to these competitions. Marie Claire Magazine announces the winners in September. The competition will be on-line and printed in a magazine. Keep your fingers crossed!
I had the pleasure of photographing Sue Fiore, District Director of NY 03 - National Barrel Horse Association. She was a wonderful model, and a major competitor this weekend, along with her daughter Sheralee. Both are Co-Directors. Sheralee is also a champion competitor herself. I had no idea these two ladies were a mother, daughter team. I have taken Sheralees photo in the past years.
Thats it for now! See ya in Saratoga Saturday June 9th, 6-8 PM, at 70 B Beekman Street, Saratoga Springs Art District and Sharon Crutes Gallery.
