2018 UPDATE: My friend has since been diagnosed and has undergone the battle with throat cancer. I had these images, what I had thought backed up, only to have been forever lost. This image is the one one in its existence now. Smoke continue his battle and if f God willing, He will give us one more beautiful morning to spend it together.
This image, along with the Horse Thieves Beware are my first photographs of people. As an amateur, I've strayed away from any type of portrait work or people photography as I live in the North Georgia Mountains and landscapes to me, well, they don't move. LOL. However, I wanted to try something different for an upcoming local photography contest and I knew that the competition for the landscape category and entries would be fierce as I had entered the contest for my very first time in 2013. So, I asked my friend, who enjoys wearing the full cowboy attire if he would help me and what I had in mind. He was so very kind (and patient), along with his horse Santee, with taking my first photo shoot. I entered both of those photos into the 2014 contest and although this one didn't place, it was awarded an Award of Merit. Thank you Smoke for being such a sport!
