The current work that I am showing in the Gallery is from a series called Endangered Species. My background in photography includes studies at Colombia College in Chicago. Part of my education included the idea of working in series. Each image works on it's own but can be stronger when in a series.
These are portraits of coin operated rides, specifically horse rides, that were often found in front of stores. Each image is a created looking for the various personalities of the individual horse. The horse itself, the colors involved, the environment are used to define the horse and to evoke an emotion from the viewer.
