  1. “All right! The normal is the good smile in a child’s eyes. There’s also the dead stare in a million adults. It both sustains and kills, like a god. It is the ordinary made beautiful, it is also the average made lethal. Normal is the indispensable murderous god of health and I am his priest…”Equus, Peter Shaffer

    A beautiful and dream-like photograh…the transformation of the mythologic….a re-imagining of the play and the relationship between horse and human and the amazing intelligence and connection that people have between those two remarkable creatues (people and horses)….what i love is this bolt of shine on her belly and back (a moon) and the swan-curve of her neck over the neck of the rider…
    that two become one, particularly in their shared love and need for one another….

    a wonderful and insightful photoraph…

    cheers

  2. very very special! it is really refreshing to look at this image. this one is a conceptual photograph. for a long long time i shall keep coming back to this image. i am at a loss for words to explain my feelings but i think this photograph does not need any word of mine. thank you andy for sharing. wish you all the best.

  3. This is great, I really like the composition of course, but the light is spectacular. Even though I am a big fan of photographs done in this style, I have mixed feelings over the modern sense of horse and rider. Yesterdays photograph was a great contrast to this one, a very different style and a very different relationship between humans and horses. I once read that originally in Central Asia horses were never hunted for food because of the difficulty of the chase. Apparently if the horses caught sight or smell of humans they would run for 9 days straight

  4. AKAKY: That wasnt very nice.

    AKAKY IRL: What’s not nice again, or should I bother to ask?

    AKAKY: The Mr. Ed thing. This is a good picture, I think. Andy deserves better than you being snarkily negative.

    AKAKY IRL: I am snarkily negative; it’s who I am.

    AKAKY: It’s annoying, you know that, right?

    AKAKY IRL: Yup.

    AKAKY: And you dont care, do you?

    AKAKY IRL: Nope.

    AKAKY: Putz.

    AKAKY IRL: Likewise, I’m sure.
