Tuesday/ wednesday final post


Today (wednesday) I decided to finish my blogging so I can concentrate on my workbook and gettin my images sorted. Currently I am having alot of issues with my work as I had it printed earlier and to be quite blunt it looks pants!! So its being printed A4 and will hopefully look better. Anyways I wanted to finish this blog off by leaving you with nothing more than a simple picture of my horse. This sounds a bit strange but the bond we have is very strong and without her I would not have as much appreciation for the outside world as I do. Over the last few weeks Barthes has been talking about trying to find his mother in a photograph, but in this image although it is simple it is often images like these that are most representative of my horse, just an everyday casual shot like this one contains the familularity and closeness I have with the subject. So I leave you with this, it may not look much to you but like I said she means the world to me.

This is Tuesday's Post. I was just playing around with my camera trying to get my horse in the picture as well as things in her life.

Monday's Blog



For these images I got on my horse with my camera, slightly strange I know as I havent got insurance on it but again hopefully this shows the trust I have in these animals and basically all I am trying to do to show my perspective when riding. In these images I have concentrated on showing my own horse as she is the main part of 'my world'.

Friday's Post.


Today has been a snowy day so im glad I took these pictures this morning. Basically I had an idea yesterday where I wanted to reconsruct me falling off to link with the other image on wednesday's blog. I have decided to post two as I couldn't decide which one I preferred so i would appreciate if you had a look and let me know. Also today I was thinking about where this project is going and I have decided to change the name of my blog tomorrow making it more focused on horses and especially my horse is she is the reason that I love the outdoors.


The image above I think is less like a documentary image but again I couldn't decide between them. But I thought it represented my vision if I had fallen off more than the other image.

After the tutorial I decided just continue with what ive been doing, the first person perspective so this is mucking out in a little more detail!

Wednesday's Blog.

Today's images I decided to show me putting up some jumps. Again this is just to show another activity that is part of my outside world. I am still continuing to use a first person perspective and trying to use a part of me in the frame to show that I am actually doing this and that it is something that I d often. I am also trying to edit down the amount of images I post but I am trying a variety of ideas at the moment so its hard to pick just one without me feeling I havent showed it clearly. The image below is just one I did earlier, it was just a joke picture really playing with my first person perspective as if I had just fallen off the horse. Again please let me know if my images are working....and be brutal!!

Tuesday's Blog - Daily Jobs.





These images are representing some of my daiy jobs, I tried to link them together by showing the red glove. These are more general jobs that are not quite as related to the horses and my closeness as the others but I am just trying to show everyone as much as my world as I can in this limited time.

Monday's Post - clipping day!!


Basically today was clipping day like it said in the title. This is omething we tend to do about five times a year to each horse, its quite time consuming and took up most of my day so I would include it in my daily post. Again it reminded me of the closeness and especially the trust I have in these horses because of how close we are to them whilst doing this. I decided to take the shots again thinking again of my viewpoint whilst clipping or helping to clip as I dint do it alone! Im trying to get a bit of a theme with these images focusing on a main subject and having simular ideas of viewpoint with the shots but obviously changing the content slightly depending on what I am doin in the day. Again hope this is the right direction....let me know guys!!
