Only 1 will stay. All taken June 20th on different years, 2006, 7, and 10. The horses taken Jun 20 2006 as I made my way from Portland to here, NY to move here. I hated the green made them black and white. A romantized interpatation but I'm hoping its also a bit elegant or has some other redeeming value. Taken with a 55.0-200.0 mm f/4.0-5.6 Nikor at 200 with a crop factor of 1.5 so its 300mm. But cropped a good 25% so its maybe 400mm. And still the foal skittish. I have a movie house project going. I make a point of getting as many as possible when I go cross country before they all disappear. Perhaps they wont disappear!?!? I made it to Evanston WY by the middle of the afternoon and got this fa?ade of their Strand theater. Playing Jack Black 7 & 9 Nacho Libra. I love the typography. This shot I'm really thinking is working. Perhaps I should have the movie houses in their own gallery but I think I have too many galleries already. Happy first day of summer! At noon the sun was directly overhead. If you can see your shadow then we get another two weeks of Spring. Woof! I'm loaded on pain meds. Had a super bad Sciatic attack today. If a slipped disk hurts more than this than I'll eat it. - - from my iRabs. Mark Rabiner http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/lugalrabs/springdays/
