I had been wanting to photograph myself with this horse for a while.  It was my son's toy when he was younger.  I had a similar one when I was a child.  There was just so much sentimental memory there.  I finally cleaned out the basement and did the photos.  Above and below are the creations I came up with.  I was going for a left in the basement/forgotten feeling in these as that is what happened to the toy.  I will share some before editing/after editing pics in the next week or so as well as some fun edits my friend and fellow photographer Stacy Frett did.

This was also motivated by my needing to complete a printed portfolio which I just finished prepping for the printer this morning.  This portfolio will be reviewed by reviewers at Filter Photo Festival in September.  I am hoping to get some good feedback to push my work to the next level and maybe even an opportunity will come of it.
