Rad, the horse I like
I am afraid of horses and I don't like formal photographs like this at all. But I got an incredible opportunity to spend time with Rad, pulling my hand down over his blaze, straightening his topknot (if that's what it's called) and I had my camera in my pocket and could photograph his eye lashes.
"My Suffolk Downs" was just published by Pressed Wafer and Kat Ran Press, photographs and poems. A chapbook, "The Real Story," can be ordered at www.finishinglinepress.com. I've been doing a great deal of community work, short videos (29 so far, and photographs during the last year in Chelsea and in Lawrence.
I was a photographer for a thousand years, specializing in personal work, documentary. Now I write and work in video with a few photographs thrown in on the side. My website is www.melissashook.com
Mysterious. A whole landscape in this eye. Violet and blue over brown. I'm afraid of horses, too.
