Sometimes you just know things are working - and working correctly. Whether it is something you write, a photo you take, or the accomplishments of your students.
This week-end I had the pleasure of that experience. Zara and her horse Ajiba performed exceptionally well in every class they entered at the 2010 ACAH horse show. Their success is the culmination of all they have learned from several coaches over the years and I happen to be the fortunate one who is putting the 'icing on the cake' so to speak in refining their skills.
So, how do people commemorate those moments? For many it is a photograph - perhaps one of the presentation of a trophy, such as the one above. For others, the joy is in capturing the action as it happens that results in the awarding of prizes.
The hand gallop that speaks to strength, fitness, obedience and pride.
The lengthened stride that demonstrates longitudinal flexibility and strength.
What ever it is, those moments are fleeting and to be enjoyed again and again in an image that truly captures the memory.
As photographers, that is what we do.
