Time to keep everyone up to date.
I have been having lots of fun with my new digital camera. I went to Saratoga to the racetrack for a weekend this summer. What a wonderful place to take my cameras. I met my friend Linda Shantz (equine painter from Canada) up there and we had a blast.
There are still a few more weeks to see my work there at Terry Lindsay’s Equidae Gallery in the Holiday Inn. The show closes after Labor Day.
A few weeks after I was up there, I went to the HITS showground in Saugerties. NY and photographed the Parade of Breeds and Grand Prix jumping. As you can see, it was a miserably rainy day. But I still had fun.
These color images and more can be seen at www.julietharrisonphotography.smugmug.com They are available for use as reference photos for artists and as inkjet prints. Not to worry. I did bring my B&W film and got some great shots. I just haven’t been in the darkroom printing them yet.
Upcoming stuff…….
Next fall I have been invited to participate in a 2-person show of equine art at the Silo Gallery at the Hunt Hill Farm Trust in New Milford, CT. This will be a great chance for me to showcase more than 20 pieces of my new work. I will keep everyone posted as that comes closer. Until the next post….have a wonderful end of summer!

Now that June is over and I have a bit of time to reflect……I realized what a difficult month it has been. For me, it was a month of Anniversaries.
The most simple ones are the anniversary of my birth (50 years), my sons birth (14 years) and that of my marriage (20 years).
More subtle anniversaries were things like, it has been a year since my mom passed away. That made my big birthday very bittersweet, not having her there to share the day with me. The last time I heard her voice was on an answering machine last year when she called from the ICU to wish my son happy 13th birthday. I heard she really gave the nurses a hard time that day insisting that she be able to call. So Jackson’s birthday also served this year as a reminder of her absence.
Other anniversaries were celebrated……it was 10 years ago, for my 40th birthday, that I returned to riding after a 27 year hiatus from horses. Along with that came my focus on photographing horses. And 7 years ago in June, I bought my first horse Tony. Tony has answered my childhood dream and been a great companion and teacher.
So, now that June has ended, I can finish reflecting on the past and move again towards the future which includes exhibitions of my work at the HITS Artists and Exhibitors Gala on July 24th. Culminating in the display of work on the HITS showgrounds in Saugerties, NY through mid August. In addition, my work will again this year be at Terry Lindsay’s Equidae Gallery at the Holiday Inn in Saratoga Springs, NY from July 25th through September 1st. If you can get up to enjoy a race day be sure to stop by the gallery.
