Ever since my fourth birthday, I have been completely in love with horses. I love everything about them. Literally everything. Like, I love cleaning out horse pens. Poop doesn't phase me. Horses are truly the most fantastic thing on this earth. 

For my Project 4 (P4) assignment, I decided to work on photographs that could convey my passion for horses. Project 5 (P5), which I haven't begun yet, is basically a continuation of P4. I get to print one picture for P4 and experiment with several different types of papers to see which one will suit my project best. I'm really excited to do loads of annoying printing this weekend! Sarcasm implied.

Anyways, here are a few of the pictures I took of my friend's horses this evening. I wanted them to be a little grainy, very sharp, and black and white. I want to show horses as gritty, graceful, and wild things. I want to show people why I love them.

I like this one. The horse's ears are erect and his attention is focused on me, but he isn't afraid. Just curious. I would be surprised if my professor likes this one. The eye isn't in focus, which is what you'd generally want when you're taking pictures of things with eyes. Eyes are the windows to the soul and all that, don't you know? I ramped up the sharpness in this picture so that the tangled hair would be even more eye-catching. This is the picture I'll probably be printing for P4. It's peaceful and probably my favorite one from tonight.
