Very happy to announce an exhibit (6/3 - 12/31) at the @nmrhof ! It features some of my work but many images by photographers whose work I've collected over the decades - spanning ~1907 (Colin) - 2025 (Sovereignty ). Several Man o' War photos, some not seen before, are featured.

You never know what a horse will grow up to be, but it was plenty exciting to be there to cover it when Reliable Source was born at @Three_Chimneys in spring 2022 as part of @nmrhof Foal Patrol. Today, she won the Zia Park Princess Stakes. Nothing beats long-term storytelling.
