One More Race Left

Siena, Italy 2003. il Palio again. For some reason I love these pictures because the horses are so beautiful and the costumes the riders wear are so colorful.

One Last Time

Italy 2003. I actually cant remember where exactly I took this picture. Its a small hill city I'm sure, but cant remember which one. This is one of those pictures that you just snap, dont think about too much, but turns out to be very good. I will post some more things like this later.

I'll Take a Fanta

Montepluciano, Italy 2003. Montepluciano is a very beautiful hill town showered with wine and gelato shops. Another hot day prompted another stop into a little cafe sporting this nice little menu out front. I took this picture on a whim and with a little help from photoshop I've created a great little photo.

Golden Arc

Paris, France 2002. After along day walking the city in above 90 degree in tempeture I finally came to rest on this beautiful site. The Arc de Triumph is beautiful and I think I've captured the sheer beauty it endures. The deep blue background and goldend arc make this picture truly beautiful. Pictures like this feed the ego (alittle bit), but more importantly keeps me shooting, always trying to top the best I've ever done.

Fear Nothing

Siena, Italy 2003. Sometimes you get lucky, and other times you get even luckier. I shot this picture in the same roll as the picure with the yellow rider. I love this young man's red, black and white uniform. Also I love the shadow covering the eyes of the rider. The shadow adds mystery to the rider while leaving you questioning his thoughts and feelings. Finally, what's most appealing is the horse's pose. How his body is turned and most importantly how his head is tilted to the side.

The Calm

Taken in Siena Italy 2003. il Palio is a famous horse race ran through piazza del campo. This picture was taken during an early morning practice race in which I was lucky to get so close to the action. I like the bright yellow costume the rider wears in this picture, but more importantly the horse and his pose is beautiful in its self.
