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'.

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!!

Friday's Blog.

Today I decided to continue with the theme of closeness with my animals, at the moment I have focused on my horses but I would like to experiment with the other animals at some point in this project. I have also continued with my idea of everyday, my normal life which may be in fact different to someone elses. In these two images I have focused on getting the horse ready to ride, showing you some of the preparation. I decided to publish these two images in the blog today because I realised this is something again I take for granted in the fact that because I am used to the animals so there is no fear, but I know other people do have fear if I asked them to do this sort of thing. Again please let me know if this sort of work is working, thanks!

Thursday's Post.

Today we had another look at our blogs. Personally I liked yesterdays blog so I tried to have a simular concept with todays but instead showing something else that I do daily from a first person perspective. Here I am quite simply putting on a horses rug but because of the closeness I thought it may not be so obvious for someone that isant used to doing this type of thing. In the workshop today I realised I need to show some more heart in order to make my project sucessful and I think this is beginning to engage with these first person images. I also decided to post the image below because although I took it today I think it goes with yesterday's images. This again is an image of familiarity, I find this an everyday thing to keep the horse clean but this activity may be very different to what everyone else in the group does.

Wednesday's Post.

Today I decided to show you some more of the little things I also do daily. I tried to make the images almost like first person, as I was doing them at the time and I wanted the image to share the closeness to the subject that I share. I also wanted these images to show not only the closeness but the trust I never realised until now that I have with these animals, I realised this as I found when people are not used to being with animals in this sort of environment they arent very willing to trust them and are instead frightened which is something I find very bizarre. If this is the write direction please let me know because I feel this project is a little hit and miss. Please comment on what sort of things you would like to see!

Another Day of Rain...Friday's Post.

Yet again we had another day of rain :( but still I took two horses out riding so rain or shine I still ride. This is the reason I choose this image because the horses just look a little unenthusiastic!! Again I tried to show my daily jobs (not chores!) to see how it differed from everyones elses life within the blog group.
