Hitchin' Up

Posted by Suzanne (Huntington Bch, California, United States) on 21 January 2009 in Lifestyle & Culture and Portfolio.

At our best and most fortunate we make pictures because of what stands before our camera, to honor what is greater and more interesting than we are. We never accomplish this perfectly, though in return we are given something perfect--a sense of inclusion. Our subject thus redefines us, and is part of the biography by which we want to be known. -- Robert Adams

Alivia from Saint-Etienne, France

c'est une image d'un autre temps, une super image, composée comme un tableau ancien,. Sa couleur sépia ajoute à cet effet, la roulotte, les chevaux, les hommes , tout est admirablement cadré et l'on perçoit la difficulté our rassembler les deux chevaux. Image réalité, très vraie et qui transporte dans un autre monde. Merci Suzanne
